Pros: The contact list is actually quite pleasant to the eye and can be manipulated size-wise quite nicely. No major flaws.

Cons: A number of minor flaws. It's not free, so you can only run a demo without coughing up. You can't customise the message window or, to any major extent, the client list.

Review: It just doesn't feel right. It's all there, it all works, there's no huge hiccup, it just feels too incomplete, perhaps hastily done. True, I would be happy to use it, but when you consider apps such as Proteus, Adium or even Instantbird, it just pales in comparison.
