Trillian is full of bugs, it's insane. I use MSN the most but I think AIM is the best one.

GoogleTalk is great!

Everyone's like "Ooh google talk is crap, because MSN has.. etc"

But to be honest MSN is overloaded with useless sh*t I don't want to use.
As for GUI, sometimes less is more. And it's also much more effiecient.

I would only like 3 more things on GoogleTalk:
Ability to change name,
an 80x80 display pic,
Coloured text.

I Don't want Games that I never play, I don't want to see people on webcam or voice, I don't want interegated "MSN Space" crap, I don't want annoying animated emoticons popping up everywhere and I certainly don't want ads everywhere.

I use msn for chatting to friends and skype for chatting with colleagues/clients during wk hours.

I dont like the way skype launches links into windows you already have open. v v annoying

Absolute rubbish.!

I've had Trillian for about a year now and i've never had a problem with it. In fact, when people have problems with MSN, AIM - Trillian doesnt get affected. Like when people try that crashing hack etc in AIM. Or when people cant seem to connect to MSN

Trillian is easily my favourite. But if you want to go to individual IM services, AIM hands down.

MSN is just .. schoolkids and retards with stupid handles just seem to talk to you on there. AIM is nice.. more people use it too.

Oh, and MSN used to just log out randomly. Dont know if it still does it though

I agree. I used trillian but now am using plain old AIM. I also use Google Talk. I dont know why people dislike google so much lately...
