I assume this is for Windows you are looking for? Go with Miranda[=http//www.miranda-im.org/]Miranda.
It has plugins for any network you would ever want to use, and can be configured to behave and look pretty much however you like.
I've been using it for like 6 years, wouldn't use anything else.

Does Miranda allow you to open up two instances? My wife and I both like to be signed on to AIM on our PC.

If you use aim and want a slimmed down version check out

It's made by AOL still but without all the junk. I haven't tried it yet but looks promising if you don't need all the extras.

gaim, you can sign on to all the networks at once from the same program, and it's not a system resource hog
