Thank you for interest. Of cause I can describe in more detail.
LeechCraft is a free open source cross-platform modular internet-client. It consists of a core which defines common plugin interfaces and a lot of plugins for different purposes. User can install any combination of them to achieve the necessary functionality.
The main advantage of such approach is that modules could interact more closely than standalone programs in usual Desktop Environments. Thus, plugins can also rely on functionality provided by each other. Plugins could also have their own plugins: for example, support for different protocols or chat window styles in an IM client.
Also developers don't reinvent the wheel for each protocol. They use existing solutions (rasterbar libtorrent for BitTorrent or QXmpp for XMPP protocol for example) if possible. And they contribute back their patches to the upstream in these cases.
There are active developers command and quite wide community in the project. So it will improving in the future.
Best regards,
Boris
