Yeah... (iChat Rant)

Well, iChat is buggy crap. It crashes for everyone I know, and there IS no way to edit your profile. It's pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

So I guess what I am saying is, is Apple EVER going to complete this? It's far from complete--direct connections don't work for pictures (jpgs, gifs), there is no file sharing, and there is no way to edit your information. It's also a pain in the ass to have to select your buddy's screen name (if they use multiple ones) to view their profile. It's not a thought out application, and it was extremely disappointing to me. Anyone have the "inside scoop" on iChat?

I don't use Adium, it just doesn't cut it. I use AIM ...

sorry, I need something that just has all the features... file transfer, buddy icons, etc.... and then I used a little hack to get rid of the ads.... and I'm happy with my AIM

yeah, but adium has a tabbed interface and almost complete customizability. What more can you ask for?
