I recently have been getting tired of res-hacking AIM to remove ads, icons, change colors, etc to make it usable, and as such I was wondering what kind of instant message programs you people are using?

I'm looking for something thats compatible with AIM and has none of the annoying stuff like ads. I looked at Miranda for awhile but wasnt entirely satisfied with how it handled AIM profiles/away messages (i.e. not at all) and the fact that it needed so many plugins to run close to how it should run anyways. Easy Message was just horrible. I'd like to use Trillian Pro but dont need to spend $25 or so for it. Are there any other decent clients that I'm missing?
