I will add to the parade of negative comments by pointing out that Trillian's refusal to offer Jabber for free is chasing away potential customers who use Gmail/Google Chat.
For serious, Adium, Pidgin, Meebo, and lots of other services wouldn't dream of crippling their product by telling such a huge portion of users to take a hike. When G-chat wasn't around it made sense to offer jabber as a niche/premium feature. But the landscape has changed. Support for Google Chat is standard, now.

Any sign of Voice/Video integration? From Trillian or from Adium.

I've had such problems with Trillian Pro for Windows (user experience and IA holes) that I can't imagine why anyone would want to use Trillian on the Mac when Adium is such a better alternative.

Wow, I'd never heard of Adium before (probably because it's Mac software). Anyone think that the new recently integrated web services with user profiles could be handy though (regardless of the Pro vs Free debate)?
