Remember not always the best idea is to include the "most advanced" program.
Kopete is slowly getting features and cool things.... but the UI has been
always clean, nice and KDE complaint from the ground.
Almost all feedback I have received is 50% because UI,Ease of use, Appearance.
And the rest 50% is because plugin/flexibility/features etc.

I used licq for years... and I think it is a client for advanced users that 
need a good, full-featured specific client.

Kopete is here to cover the average people objetives. The end-user objetives 
are "chat","talk"... no matter if the other user is in "icq","aim", etc or if 
the client supports triple des encryption and E.T detector.
Kopete focuses the end-user needs first, advanced features later, and always 
without bloating the interface. (We spent hours discussing about how to 
integrate irc).

I just started documenting the API... so then I can make a plugin developer 
howto. The docs sux yet, but it is a place to start... I will update them 
every day. The docs can be reached at Kopete's site.

Duncan
