Another vote for Trillian too. Perhaps even Miranda as well? Used that for a while and it was quite pleasant

But tbh... I just use the chat function in Steam these days

I'm currently using Pidgen and it's using about... 19MBs of RAM. Not bad in my opinion.

I would be using Trillian, but it stopped logging into my messengers, so I'm using Pidgen while I wait for an excuse to reformat.
