Oh, and if you’re wondering what my requirements are.

  • Clean interface. This means the tabs, the buddy list font size, and the icons.
  • Searchable buddy list. This is incredibly elegant in Adium. You just type and hit enter.
  • Support for Google Talk, Yahoo, and AIM

Before you point out that Adium is based on Pidgin, I already know this. My issue is mostly with the UI.

Sigh… suggestions are encouraged.
