Using CTRL+Enter to send is not poor usability.

Only people used to IRC and MSN think Enter should be send. ICQ users are used 
to CTRL+Enter. You can't say something is poor usability just because *you* 
don't like it.

In the case of new users, it would be reasonable to expect them to think Enter 
== New Line, since every word processor they'd have every used would behave 
that way.

It should also be noted that GAIMs default is also CTRL+Enter, for what it is 
worth.
