gaim: What's broken?

Articles always seem to be giving gaim shit about its UI.

Very rarely does anyone actually point out a specific problem they can put their finger on, it’s always just “Bad UI /grumble mutter/”.




I don’t think there’s too much actually wrong with the gaim UI; personally. There’s a few menu options in all the wrong places, but that’s about it.




Don’t think I’m right? Got specific problems. Stuff that makes gaim unusable for you? Tell me about it and make me eat my words.

Right, except gaim periodically just disappears. Today I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice, and when I run it I see the gaim process but no window. Can't find gaim anywhere, it's just running in a void.

I am going to uninstall it for good.
