Trillian is also the only one that has a half way decent Android version, though that too is pay and not entirely bug free. Long gone are the days of the Trillian team being basement dwelling rebel developers reverse engineering the Big Boy’s IM protocols. And they want to charge for this or make you put up with ads and other annoyances. The development is glacial at best, new protocol support is gone, and they took down their own community sites that hosted what few plugin/theme developers remained. Now for the BUT: if you’re starting fresh I would avoid it like the plague. It is typically fast, responsive, and lightest on resources when doing equal comparisons. Trillian is my favourite BUT – and I need to emphasize that “but” – it is only because I’ve had it for so long that I managed to fall in to a lifetime premium account and had local copies of most of the addons, plugins, themes, and whatnots that had been developed. Now You: Are you affected by the one of the few dinosaurs left that still uses various IM protocols for my primary communications so I tend to bounce around between the multi-protocol applications.
