Who wins in your opinion? Empathy integrates with Gnome well and supposedly has voice, but Pidgin has plugins out the wazoo and is cross platform, and more established.

FireHOL: An amazing, powerful, linux server firewall that is easy to understand, configure, and use!
Check it out if you want a secure Ubuntu Server: sudo apt-get install firehol
Pidgin for me:
I don't use GNOME, and I use Skype for A/V chats.
2010 IBM Thinkpad 510, 4GB RAM, i5-540M, NVS 3100M
Running Ubuntu 11.04
As I use neither, has someone got a comprehensive run-down of features?
I vote Emesene.
I use Emesene too. But when it comes to Pidgin and Empathy, I think that Pidgin is currently better... for example, I can install a smiley theme for it that has specific sets of smileys for each IM network. But I can't understand why multiprotocol IM programs don't include such smiley themes by default, and instead they have a single theme for all protocols... it just makes no sense at all.
I dunno, I don't pay much attention to emoticons - unless is that custom animated one of the two bulldogs doing it I use to scare off newbs.
Think Emensene uses the same ones as Pidgin.
Empathy long term, integration and what it offers in terms of allowing networking with buddies will be a winning combination. I use it for all my GoogleTalk needs and once it does webcams in msn it will replace amsn as well (which is a truly ugly application, not to mention unstable).
Hmm... maybe it does. I haven't actually tried MSN in Pidgin, only other protocols, and I remember I had to download the right smiley themes from gnome-look. Otherwise there were only a few basic smileys on the list, that had nothing to do with the smileys actually used in these protocols...
Pidgin is my favorite, and works good for me. Except for my Yahoo account, which no longer works.
