am sold Trillian for the following reasons.
- actual USEFUL Search feature! Unlike ICQ's & Yahoo's
- centralised logs // you can get ex: 3 computers linked to the same files
- resource usage // 1 trillian with 3 connections is the avg of 1 ICQ5 running.
trillian crashes every once in a while but then so does msn & icq, i must admit i've never experienced a Yahoo crash but then .. i didn't stay in Asia long enough lol.
over the years, i've noticed log files size affects trailian's stability the most.
Either prune those big ones or break 'em down.
User limiting is a common programming practice and don't blame trilian for that, just try and add those in the regular IM application, sometimes the limit is even lower.
The true downside in using trilian is the fact that since ex:msn uses a proprietary protocol to manage their data, therefore just like M$ did with protocol v8, trilian can stop working for an extended period of time until the compatibility returns in the likely form of an upgrade.
