I liked this list, as I have been on the look out for a new client. I like the feedback from the commenters on how these work in the real world. I like the ones that run on a browser too, and I have used Yahoo Web Messenger (in beta for like 5 years) it's barebones, but it works.

@Curves: Speaking of barebones, I've been using Miranda for years, and it should top the list, IMO. The thing fits on a floppy disk, for cryin' out loud, yet still supports all the protocols and does pretty much everything the others do. It's just simple and clean, with absolutely no bloat.

haha for me this list could also be named:

Top 5 IM clients we just had to block from our agents at work.

I hate that I am that guy.
