Trillian lets you connect to AIM, ICQ, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, and IRC.

The biggest problem with IM is that you dont' choose a client because of features, you choose it because it's what the people you want to communicate with use. Trillian makes it a lot easier to talk to everyone you want.
