Q USES trillian, so do I, but AIM is better for AIM only because trillian has trouble direct connecting :-|
According to some website, trillian is supposed to work with dcing to other trillian users and aim 5.2 users, it has the trouble with aim 5.5 users.
wouldn't surpirse me but i think i had trouble Directly Connecting to someone that had AIM 5.2....... anyways i mostly just use AIM anyways so i haven't used trillain in a while... but it ownz the other IMing programs but it won't connect to yahoo.... everytime i try it says invalid password... anyways i think AIM by its self is fine though,
rog did you use trillain or aim 5.2? everytime i tried to DC to you i've been using AIM 5.5, and about the only thing i like about AIM 5.5 is the popups that tell you who signed on or off... etc.. if AIM 5.2 had that i'd still be using AIM 5.2

So far I have been very happy with it. I like all the smilies and the containers for away messages. I also like the way it handles multiple AIM screen names since I have like 5 sn's. I dont intend on switching any time soon back to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ.
I like the container feature for all the im's that are sent to me while I'm away.
I used the irc thing today, and I liked it really well.
So far I give Trillian a 7.5/10. (Some things good, other things poor)
I give AIM a 6/10 (I actually like AIM. Go figuer. Still some room for improvment)
I give ICQ a 4/10 (Hated the UI. Impossible to add ppl to the list, etc.)
I give MSN a 5/10 (Sort of good but room for big improvment)
I give mIRC a 3/10 (found it confusing)
I give YIM a 4/10 (didn't like the UI)
HeH, I've tried mIRC and Tril and Kopete, only Kopetes IRC I liked. Overall it's nice (Tril), I espeically like MetaContacts. Usefull for ppl like JT who have WAY too many IM accounts.

I have 6 AIM screen names currently. 2 Yahoo ones, 2 MSN ones and 1 ICQ.
AIM doesn't handle 6 screen names as well as Trillian does.
NOOOO it doesnt. I tried sn linking but it never worked in aim 5.5
I have 2 sn's in trillian, i have many other (mostly tophernet with diff. numbers) and my old ones, but i dont use them. I allways primarily use TopherNET2k.

AIM and ICQ users can communicate through AIM or ICQ... its the same network, my AIM logs in using the ICQ login server.

I remember that you were the first person I ever talked to on AIM. You were the one that made me get AIM.
