What instant messenger do you like to use, and why

What is your favorite instant message client? Yahoo? MSN? The message board?
What do you use, and like the best?
I like Yahoo and msn, although I use Skype and Jabber. Of course, there's always the good ole IRC. 
Prefer not to use the message board, but I suppose if you didn't have a client installed, it would do in a pinch.

I use Gaim for my MSN, Yahoo, AIM, and Jabber accounts, and skype for VOIP, that is when I get a head set.
Yes IM clients are much faster to Chat with than using this board, but I guess for those who can't figure out how use a chat client....

I use AIM the most because that's what all my friends from high school and college use. Also, all my family is on there. I recently switched back to using the straight AIM client because I missed having a buddy icon and creating a profile...plus using pretty fonts and colors. I know...I'm cheesy!
I also sometimes use GAIM with my old AIM nickname every once in awhile.
I currently use Trillian for MSN and Yahoo. I had my AIM on there until just last week. That was nice because I could use all 3 clients by only opening one messenger program. I got tired of having MSN, Yahoo, and AIM all open separately and running on my computer! I like Trillian because of the sound effects!! Like...you type "LOL" and it laughs like a little kid. That's fun! And it has a lot of cool smilies.  However, unless you are chatting with someone else using Trillian...they don't get the benefit of any of that! Just you!
I spend way way way too much time playing with instant messenger!

I use trillion........
It's a system that encorporates all services into one client......
This way you do not have to run yahoo, AIM, ICQ, MSN or whatever at the same time......it recognizes all.

To find something on the web go to Google and type in what you want.
Trillian is good but it doesn't support Jabber and it is Microsoft Windows only.
Gaim runs on Linux, BSD, OS X, and even MS Windows, has support for a number of IM services, but it doesn't have the cute sounds that Trillian has.
