Can you add Adium to the list? It is the best AIM client for any OS. Coincidentally, it is only available for Mac OS X :p.

Yes, and I said that I can't say Fire.app was a bad program, just that I preferred adium better. Have a :beer: on me.

oh, and i'd vote trillian if they'd fix the HTML profile plugin.. altho, I dunno if it's been updated since 2.0... it refuses to use the default browser to launch links. that and it costs $25.

trillian pro, but i'm becoming more and more displeased with it. It can't seem to handle AIM file transfers, and i don't use a firewall. I have to switch to AIM whenever i want to send OR receive AIM stuff. :(

I have to agree, to an extent. Trillian has always had its oddities with the AIM network. For me, many times, direct connects can only be made one way (I can send, but not receive the request), file transfers can be spotty to a couple people on my buddy list, and you can't change your password. But I did pay $25 for the pro version, because overall, I love the program.
