Wishlist: iChat X

I'm flat out tired of waiting for AV in adium, and quite frankly, I don't really like the app anyway. Sure, it's fine for a free open-source program, but it's buggy and kind of ugly.


I would absolutely love to see Apple release a version of iChat that would eliminate the need for Adium all together. I'll call it iChat X.


In addition to all the features iChat already provides, iChat X would include access to the MSN, Yahoo, MySpace, Facebook, ICQ, Googletalk, Skype, etc., networks with full AV capabilities for those networks that support it.
