    Typical KDE user; Cares about looks over functionality.

    Heh. ``Asshat'' is the perfect word to describe what Sean acted like there.

    I found that out a few months ago, and it's one of the two reasons I no longer use Gaim.

    The other reason I've switched is that, as of KDE 3.3, Kopete has become far more usable--it's not as mature as Gaim yet, but it's certainly better than it was, and it's sufficient for what I use it for.
