I used trillian for about a week. Personally, I couldn't stand it. It was way to bloated. With all the skins and trying to connect to multiple servers and everything, it was just to big. I personally think it is a waste of space, and a ram hog. Besides the fact that no matter what anyone says, the authors are breaking the law. Yes, they should have access to AOL's IM people, but the point is, they don't. By using trillian, you are supporting criminals.

Some people love it, and that is ok, but don't try and press crappy software down my throat.
