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.
