i’ve used a number of OS X instant messaging clients, most recently fire for icq, yahoo, and msn, ichat for AIM, and nitro for my corporate messaging (jabber).
why I chose to use 3 different clients: i loved ichat’s simple interface, and nitro copied their interface really well. ichat of course does not support jabber, so nitro was used. msn, yahoo, and icq I rarely used, but i used fire when i needed them.
the good news: i use to use proteus before panther came out. after panther, and a number of changes in the msn and yahoo protocol proteus stopped working consistantly.
but proteus 4.0 is out now, i have all 5 services in one client–and life is good.
