There's a new IM on the block. Called Synapse. It's still in Alpha, but from the screenshot found on its website it looks promising and good looking, when compared to your usual IM, yes I'm talking about Pidgin and Empathy.
Synapse.im, its website, is beautifully designed, so good Stefano Forenza said "looks a bit of overkill for such a project in such early status".
Synapse features (straight from its website) :
But, as this project is still in Alpha there's a lot of room for improvement and there is plugin ability to extend this IM beyond its original ability.
Go ahead give it a try. Synapse download and installation guide on Ubuntu here.
I'm still downloading it at the moment (along with the new Wine 1.1.18), I'll talk about Synapse on next post. It's still in Alpha, so I'll be gentle :)

The main window doesn't respect your theme settings (it thinks it does better, and that's by design) so I'm already 'feh' on it.
