I liked those multi-chat clients, but I noticed sometimes they didn't seem to work well all the time with all the different chat protocols.  I knew a couple people who used Pidgin & similar, and sometimes it seemed their chat app would report me online when I wasn't or vice-versa.  Or sometimes I'd try to send them a file from my chat client and they couldn't receive it, etc..
