    Pidgin was decent, but remember Miranda? The community around it was fantastic. The plugin system was an absolute blast. Not only there were plugins for any communication network you could think of, the UX was fully customizable.

    At one point, somebody even bothered to implement the ICQ flash animations. There has not been anything like it ever since.

      Miranda IM was the best messaging software ever. Enormously configurable and super light weight. The installer was like 1Mb or something.

      Apparently Miranda-NG (Next Gen) is a thing.
