I hate using multiple clients, however Trillian just doesn't cut it for me (features don't match up to native clients)

I'm curious, what features do you use that Trillian does not support?

Trillian does not support webcams.

GAIM is officially GAY. Somebody IMed me today, and thanks GAIM's super gay notification system, I didn't see the mini flashing flag until 40 mins. after the initial IM. WTF's up w/ that? Why can't GAIM be like AIM and just open an IM window instead of the gay flashing white flag? /rant

 

[Juno]

AIM (using DeadAIM plugin) to chat with my college friends.
AIM/Yahoo/MSN = my girlfriend thru video if we don't feel like going out together.

Trillian does not support webcams.

The paid version supposedly does, when I tried it it was terrible so maybe the recent versions are better?

Smilies do not correspond correctly.
Language doesn't show correctly sometimes.
Files transfers are flakey.
I don't like the Trillian interface.
Yahoo games don't work.
No audiables.
etc

Trillian is nice if you are talking to someone else who is using it, but if you just want to talk to a Yahoo user, etc, it just doesn't deliver everything that the native client would.

I was referring to a rant that has absolutely no basis as the same feature exists in AIM and can be altered in Gaim. I guess you missed that.

AIM + MSN, I donno why but I don't like Trillian.

I use AIM most often and MSN is pretty much limited to talking to the rents.

 

[sharkeeper]

MECA.

Guess I've gotta be different.

 

[LordMorpheus]

GAIM (AIM network) because I'm COOL!
