One is developed around one specific protocol, whereas the other is developed for numerous protocols... they aren't comparable...

Amsn is also a lot bugger then pidgin, and the majority of us, as stated are using many accounts (in my case 3 or 4).
Amsn is useless for me. And pidgin will likely get A/V support soon too.
For Everyone looking, can we please not have any more of these "Please replace XXX with XXX1", All of them have been really lame, and the ubuntu maintainers have obviously thought things through when they defaulted to them

Change nothing. Pidgin is just fine.

in Russia msn is not popular, and we do not need it

Also, forgot to mention, MSN keeps breaking clients too. Jabber in pidgin will maintain permanent support with advanced warnings between protocol changes

aMSN is one of the worst clients I have ever used. Pidgin has never given me any problems. The only advantage aMSN has is webcam capabilities, which should eventually be added into Pidgin, but still -- one plus in a sea of minuses and bugs.

TCL TK is an old techno... it doesn't look and feel gnome... It could be better to enhance pidgin

aMSN is better for the MSN protocoll - true. But it is only for this protocol - so it can not be a replacement for pidgin.

Voted No.
Pidgin works well, and supports many protocols, which is useful to many users. It makes sense as the default IM client in Ubuntu.

Emesene is better than Amsn anyway.

MSN is poorly supported in Pidgin, true, however Pidgin is multi-protocol and suits most peoples needs as a basic IM client - it caters for everyone whilst aMSN only caters for people who use MSN.
I'd rather see an overhaul of Pidgin's MSN support (considering its probably the most popular network, except in the US).

There are other countries not just USA and we, not usa people use other protocols. msn is just a piece of crap.

@kraftman
i don't think they use msn much at the USA do they? isn't just AIM over there?
MSN is THE IM client here in southamerica at least.
-1 anyways, Pidgin is perfect.

I'd rather want to have more features implemented in pigdin (ie. audio, visio).

I have a better idea. Both AMSN and pidgin are crap. AMSN only supports MSN, and pidgin tries to support so many different protocols, that it supports barely any features.
I propose we support all the IM networks over Jabber instead and arrange AV over transports. This simplifies the chat client significantly, and it means they can focus on features client-side, because the majority of the heavy lifting would be done by the servers.
