Gaim's "normal" user interface is great - I really like it. It's relatively fast, too.

The largest faults I have with Gaim are:

1) Not being able to direct connect with AIM users
2) Not being able to use the "send file" feature over AIM
3) Account management / connections are just a PITA...

Whoa...1 and 2 are big no-nos.

Anyway my Trillian takes about 4mb. :thumbsup:

I want to be able to do feature #2 still 🙁

I've had success with all of the above using the latest version of Trillian. Note *LATEST VERSION*. Older versions were notorious for having poor handling of #1 and #2 as well.

file transferring works for me too (at least I think it did last time I tried). I meant I wouldn't want to switch to gaim if it meant losing that feature.
