Yesterday I was talking about Fire, an IM client
that works on OS X with several IM accounts. I downloaded it and used it through out the day to find that while it did
the job, the UI still rubbed be the wrong way for some reason. Plus, I'm used to iChat's Address Book integration so
I've been seeing my buddies real names, not screen names, and going back was harsh.
Luckily
Boris Mann
commented on that last post and tipped me off
to Adium X. Minutes after installing this I trashed Fire and made Adium X my main
IM client. It works with more services than Fire, has a gang of additional features, a much better UI, and lots of
download add-ons that you can grab to enhance it. Plus, it plays nice with Address Book so you are back to seeing your
friends Real Names. And then of course, there's the ducks…
IM on Fire! Or Not.

(Page 1)3. File Transfer.
Unless and until, Adium can never be my primary client.
(which isn't to say Fire's file transfer works well. but when it works, it works, which is more tha Adium or, to the best of my knowledge, any open-source or multi-service chat client on OS X can currently boast.)
4. Adium does file transfers. :D
