Gaim has been getting quite nice the past few months, and I don't quite understand the somewhat uninformed views from people over how things are laid out, and how things work, etc.
I've been on beta3 for the past... I don't recall how long, and I haven't touched 1.5.x since that far back. The new changes are quite nice. The status drop-down is great (I personally don't need to have multiple statuses; I consider everyone as running on the same protocol, so all use the same status), the plugin-window separation is quite nice, seeing as you'd be more likely to forget where it was in the 1.5.x releases...
Voice and video *are* big features, and if the guys are working on it, then they are probably going to be making it rock-solid to begin with, instead of listening to people complain that it doesn't work.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:P
Quick a question though: If we use IM/Chat so we don't have to use the phone in the first place, why would we want it included so badly when we could spell-check our thoughts instead?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:P
"Hey... Are you there? I can hear you rustling around... Hellooooooo?"

Just a thought...
