Trillian is just as bad.
OK, soooo, how is it just as bad as AOL. You're comparing apples to oranges. Trillian doesn't have any bloat.

| As one of the guys who beta tested both present releases of Trillian Pro, I can assure you Trillian/TPro have bloat. The memory footprint, however, is *incredibly* small, which may be the key focus of what "bloat" is or is not.
I would say Trillian/TPro are memory-friendly, yet as far as the applications themselves go (and their absolutely horrid UI -- it's sad to see a multi-IM client go the way of Winamp 3.x), yeah, they're bloated. I'm still waiting to see some bugs I posted during my beta test phase get resolved. That was years ago... *sigh*
If you're looking for a UI that's less nasty but still has a small memory footprint, you can try Miranda. However, if you encounter any issues you consider problematic, buggy, or generally unpleasant, do not bother contacting the authors -- you'll be banned from their forum, and your Emails will go ignored.

Free Trillian latest version/latest build works fine for me. The only thing that has ever been an issue is file tranfers and that was a router problem on my end. Otherwise, Trillian is perfect for people who are looking for spyware/bloatware free instant message clients.
