I used to use kopete, but > pidgin is much more convenient and user friendly, IMO. Mostly because I like KDE things. They work well together. Pidgin doesn't know how to read my Kaddressbook contents, so there is no integration with my addressbook. Pidgin doesn't look like a KDE program. Pidgin doesn't use the KDE libraries, so it adds disproportionately to the memory use by my computer. I haven't found much that I want from my IM client that Kopete doesn't supply. Does Pidgin to video? I'm not sure. There is OTR now for Kopete which is nice, though I admit that the pidgin implementation is better. I think Pidgin understands chatrooms better. In what way do you find pidgin more convenient? Michael
