I tried Trillian for about a day, hoping that it had improved since the first time I had used it, years ago. It kept spontaneously turning off during a yahoo chat with a friend I have to really work to catch online. I killed the Trillian and went back to turning on Yahoo when I have time to chat with her; MSN when I want to chat with my husband at work; AIM when I want to catch my kids; and ICQ pretty much on all the time for work.
Frankly, I can't think of anything more horrible than having all four chat programs go off at once when I'm trying to work. I've never found a nice way of saying "Look, I really love you...but leave me the hell alone right now."
