    I'm considering getting a pidgin or digsby or one of those kinda things... Pros and cons of each one, recommendations?, and aside from Pidgin and Digsby, are there any other things that are like them that are any good?
    (I like the custom emote + handwriting + e-mail notification feature of MSN btw...)

    I'm currently using Trillian Astra, as I have always been a Trillian fan.
    I have used Pidgin, and it just wasn't for me.

    There is a free version and a purchasable version for Trillian Astra; I hacked the better version, so if you want to get it, just let me know privately.

    You can also customize themes and emoticons after some quick googling, as well as modify a lot of the other features, including Facebook and email notifications.

    I've been using pidgin for ~2 years and I like it.

    It has support for viewing handwriting, but not for actually writing...yet (the wonders of open source tongue.gif).

    I'm not sure about email. It did have it at one point but it hasn't been working for me for ages. Might just be me, might be a change in the msn protocol.

    Custom emotes are supported.

    Tabbed windows are awesome. Doesn't have ads. Skins can be applied. There are some pretty cool plugins for it. Sweet log viewer.

    Haven't used any other MSN clients (besides messenger, but that was ages ago anyway).

    why?
    "but it doesnt have custom emotes & handwriting stuff. " <--- this me no like

    email notifications = most important
    custom emotes/handwriting = it'd be nice...

    aside from that, i don't really care what other features it has, but let me know what the other pros and cons are?
    i'll probably end up downloading all of them and trying them out =.='''' bleh
