Adium 1.0 beta screenshots

I spend a lot of time in chat (I'm very popular) and sadly all of my friends and colleagues refuse to use the same IM protocol. That's why I eschew iChat and use Adium instead. One of the developers behind Adium gives us a peek at how the beta 1.0 release is shaping up. Before you ask, Adium 1.0 won't support voice/video chat which is just fine with me.
This release looks very promising

I have no problems with file transfers via ICQ nor MSN. Have used the beta since this summer.

I use it for both work and personal contacts and my contact list gets pretty huge.
I adore Adium, and have it running in the background most of the time I am online, as my friends are spread around multiple services. I have it stripped down to be clean and basic, and really love it to be such. Until iChat starts having native support for cross-service, I'm simply not going to use it.
I hardly ever use video/audio, so when I want to, activating Skype isn't too much of an issue.
I will agree with those that have spotty file transfer issues with Adium, that really is my one problem. Otherwise, I consider it the superior chat client for Mac.
Nice! I still prefer iChat for my AIM usage but, like you, not everyone wants to play on the same service. So I use Adium for my other IM names. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Gives online time, buddy icon, idle time, the whole nine. If iChat had all these, I'd gladly use iChat. Hopefully iChat in Leopard has a nice interface.
