Advantages: Clean interface, easy to use, no advertising, sheer usefullness.

Disadvantages: None. Seriously.

So, you now know so many people, and they selfishly refuse to use the same instant messaging protocol, and now you have MSN, Googletalk, ICQ, Aim, IRC, so on open at the same time? Having all those open must hog a lot of CPU time, and RAM, and this is where Pidgin comes in. It can connect to multiple different protocols, all in one window. I've been using it for over a year now, and personally find the program very useful, and nice to use.

The interface is nice and clean, and the window small. for those of you who have read my other IM reviews, you know I prefer, like many other people, a window that does not take up half the screen, but stays nicely, unnoticably hidden away in the corner, ready for when you use it, and that's exactly what Pidgin provides. It rarely freezes, and is overall a generally stable program.

It also scores points for ease of use, being easy to install, and easy to use. Adding accounts is a breeze, and using them is just as simple as your current favourite instant messaging program, and more than likely less bloated, and clean.
It's a definite download, if like me, you used to have over two IM programs open at the same time, it saves time, space, and precious RAM. A muut download.

Summary: A must download! Worth every bit of its harddrive space.
