Why use ICQ?

Ok so here is a question. I am a modern guy who likes progress. I use only SKYPE for instant messaging. I came from ICQ, then MSN Messenger then onto SKYPE.

But I noticed that most people here and most programs like ICQ as a point of contact? I find this interesting? I have a theory that will get me into trouble.

Back in the day, when people started making fat stacks, there was ICQ. Everyone used this. Now its 2013 and those fat stacks have made fat cats, it's easier for them to stick to a network where they have all their contacts in one comms tool, makes no sense to move.

So is this the reason? Years and years of using one tool makes it easier to just keep on using?

I just installed ICQ (mac user) and plan on using this as well as skype. I guess this isnt a question, more of a observation. But would like to hear why this industry people use ICQ mostly?

RL.
