Isn't the tab feature a default in Leopard's iChat? Of course, besides the other features Chax offers, I think most of its users do it for tabbed conversations.

I agree. It would be too not-Apple to not implement something into Leopard that people have to use a hack to get. Personally I'm waiting to see how the Apple design minds would do it.

By that line of reasoning Unsanity would be out of business.

It's not just tabs. It's a whole fleet of other changes to iChat too. Like the extremely annoying 'Do you want to accept this message' before every new IM. Probably my favorite feature after the tabs. Plus lot's more stuff that makes using iChat much easier.
But I too wonder about the fate of Chax in Leopard....
