Those are all legitimate reasons to prefer Adium. Though I don't use video chat all that much, it's nice to have it there. The main thing that makes me switch from Adium are file transfers not working, though I suppose if everyone else is using it that may not be a factor.

I can see how the alert could get annoying – I've moved it to a non-modal warning message.

I've tried out Chax in the past and despite the improvements it makes on iChat, I still find myself going back to Adium. Adium as you said still feels slicker….and the new twitter integration makes it even better. Another feature of Adium that I prefer is the theming capabilities. Nonetheless I look forward to seeing whatever may come ou in the next version of Chax that is Snow Leopard compatible.

….completely unrelated…. in regards to the alert box saying:

“You are using an old version of Internet Explorer. This site may not display correctly. Consider upgrading your browser.”

The message is somewhat annoying when browsing the site. As a web developer I realize the intention to make me upgrade my browser, but unfortunately I have no control over upgrading my company PC from IE7 to IE8.
