That's exactly what's not the point...
You really think that the jabber server software can implement the ICQ
protocol better than the clients, I am talking about?

Well, look at
http://amessage.info/news/article/1754 (german-only)
and what Thomas Ritter said:
"The problem is, Jabber Servers tend to be unstable and badly maintained,
bringing disconnects and other things. Every Jabber client has a "Server
disconnected without reason. This would mean the server is buggy" message.
This is everything but a good omen..."
If you absolutely do not agree, I'll try it out.
However, Kopete is said to be as bad for jabber as well. How comes?
BTW: I tried sim-0.9.2 and it's again buggy as hell. It crashes in the
settings dialog! Changing to jabber just because there is no nice ICQ-client
that actually works reliable?
Actually, I would be fair/nice, if the developers of kopete could say, how
complete their implementation of a protocol really is.
