I use AIM for communication among my coworkers and I'd consider switching to GAIM (or Trillian) if it included those features.

I've tried Miranda before, but it doesn't import the ICQ list from server nicely, e.g. it doesn't import the groups. The tabbed interface is good. The only bad thing is that it doesn't support file transfer for ICQ, and the sound effect is a bit loud. :-P GAIM is good.

The interface isn't pretty nor the best, but it sure works and integrates my MSN, ICQ and Jabber contacts well. Perhaps I should check out Trillian too. I’ve already switched.

I've even paid for the pro version, and have just <a href="http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2004/Nov/14/trillian_pro_3.html">reviewed the new version 3</a>. That said, it's been a while since I last used Gaim in Windows. Gaim is good in Linux but I tend to prefer Trillian in Windows.
