Best AIM client?

haha I think I've been using meebo long enough.

I've used gaim for a while before that but eh. Anything you'd recommend over that for primarily using AIM?

DeadAIM + an older version of AIM <3

(this is Tina) Pidgin, the new version of Gaim, has the advantage (as the old one did, but never mind) of Jabber support, and as Jabber is the protocol used by Google Talk, you can configure Pidgin to use Gmail chat. So, I use that. It's pretty neat.

Gaim is no more, it's been updated to a new thing called "Pidgin," which is better than Gaim ever was.

Just regular AIM jesus

Regular AIM is fucking garbage. Absolute fucking trash.

Either DeadAIM with 5.2 or something like Josh said, or use pidgin.

Why? Give me a reason as to why I shouldn't be using it. "It's what everyone else uses so it's lame" doesn't count.

How about it's a bloated piece of software.
