Thursday here, a slow evening. Time for a new poll. This poll might require you to think a bit extra: it asks you to vote not for your favorite application, but which OSS application, in your opinion, has achieved high standards, performance, features and ease of use when compared to the best of breed of the closed source world. Read more for more explanation and voting.

I voted for Gaim; I think it's made some very dramatic strides, especially with .60. I prefer it over the commercial AIM (and Trillian, but Trillian is unofficial and has broken foreign encoding). My only problems are the lack of an "offline buddies" group and the higher GTK2 memory/CPU overhead (I'm feeling it on this Celeron). Probably the most important thing is that it is constantly getting better, which I certainly could not say for the commercial version (last I checked, they added some uberlame themes feature that would take up half of the IM window)
