Without IRC support Disgby isn't in the same league as the Pidge, Trillian or Miranda. Sorry. Tommy: Not if you want IRC.

Without IRC support Disgby isn’t in the same league as the Pidge, Trillian or Miranda. Sorry.

It's rather nice ,and apparently, the Adium themes are fully compatible with Digsby as well. So if you can't find what you're looking for on Digsbies, then most likely you can on Adium's website.

Cerulean Studios can't even give us a simple AIM update with offline message support and "here" statuses. I ditched it. Trillian 3.1 was great and cutting edge about 3 years ago.

It sure does look awesome but that's a screenshot of the new Astra, which has been in alpha testing for ages :-\ I’m a satisfied Trillian user myself too.

Astra is two year old vaporware. Trillian Astra just might be better than Disby. Unfortunately, nobody but alpha testers and warez monkeys will know that. Digsby in its own right has a great, solid community. Unfortunately, their plans for Mac and linux may not be as grand as they think. Adium dominates the Mac world and Pidgin for linux. Unless Digsby becomes open source, they can expect few people to adopt the linux version. Trillian was great for it's time. Unfortunately their cheap hacks and workarounds are what cause the rampant instability. Their IM plugin system came too little too late, they continue to use their own non-standard methods to save contacts etc. File transfers have always been a problem. SecureIM is not as secure as most people think (OTR is far more secure). At the end of the day, everyone has their own IM preferences. I guess the main thing would just be IM interoperability. how could anyone compare digsby to trillian Astra? Astra is two year old vaporware. Trillian Astra just might be better than Disby.

(astra is in beta right now). You can't compare the trillian skin with any digsby skin available right now. Anyway try it yourself, if you can't get in try the pirated versions.. :/ The screenshot was from trillian astra, not the trillian default or pro. (astra is in beta right now).
