I tried to understand what you were saying... but I failed.

Even if it's done within 2 years we are not going to have much time to enjoy it I suppose -_-
Why will the pidgin dev's be taking so long ?

Easier version: "Another 'do it all' that doesn't work how I want it to work, IM client."

The problem with IM on Linux is that there is just too many protocols, trying to support it all and have cutting edge features for the all is nearly impossible.

If you want voice and video with MSN/gtalk on Linux you can use empathy. I would use empathy exclusively but empathy's mxit support is non-existant. (Deal breaker for me, hence why I stick with pidgin.)

There will never be a better messenger then Pidgin!
