Pidgin - http://www.pidgin.im/index.php?id=177
All in one...
Supported chat networks:
* AIM
* Bonjour
* Gadu-Gadu
* Google Talk
* Groupwise

* SIMPLE

I concur 100% & I use Pidgin also.
I've been using Pidgin for a while now and I have no complaints. Just make sure you turn on the option to only receive messages from people on your list on the MSN network or you will get spam all day long.
I like Miranda.
It can run all of the major IMs:
* AIM (AOL Instant Messenger)
* Gadu-Gadu
* IAX (Inter-Asterisk Exchange)
* ICQ
* IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
* Jabber
* MSN
* Netsend
* Tlen
* Yahoo
* And more...
It is highly customizable as well.
I use the Sidebar skin but there are loads of others.

Hmmm fair enough
