Alternatives to Trillian?
Invisigoth:
I don't know anything about it going pay. The ancient version that I have still works. It can do AIM/ICQ, IRC, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, and some other stuff I've never even heard of.

I thought GAIM went pay, and that it only works for AOL Instant Messenger. Am I wrong?
Completely, you might be thinking of DeadAIM or something (I don't use AIM). Pidgin covers multiple clients, and is completely free. If you want to use MSN though, you will need to upgrade to one of the latest versions, as they changed how the protocol worked a couple of months ago, making all non-official clients stop working properly (it even stopped Microsoft's own client in the Xbox 360 from working!), but it's fixed in the latest version.
Gwill:
I might give pidgin a go too. I've used trillian for a long time, but there are many features that have never worked for me, and they never update.

People still use ICQ? :o
Hmm, I'll hafta check out this Pidgin. I don't talk to that many people on MSN, but I hate seeing notices that something is broken.
reese:
I love Pidgin, but I stick with Trillian because I use the us-intl keyboard layout, and Pidgin doesn't handle it well at all. For the few weeks I used it, I had to stop using contractions and just spell everything out, because the apostrophe would attach itself to every letter. :-\
