I use a Mac, but I installed Digsby just to see what it’s like.

After realizing I had to install 6 other apps to install Digsby (a 7th app), I decided no app is worth the harassment.

I installed Digsby.

I love my Mac.

Digsby eats too much memory and performance due to python (yes the python interpreter is bundled). I will always prefer native solutions like miranda, trillian and pidgin (yes GTK dependancy is too heavy too).

Digsby does not eat memory or hang my PC. I love digsby, I find I like it much more than pidgin! How ever it is still a fairly new software and has a few things I would like fixed. All in all I think it is the best chat client I have ever used.

I can’t agree or disagree since I haven’t tried Digsby yet. I am going to go home this afternoon and see what comes of it. I’ll most likely follow this up with a short review specific to Digsby.

Tell me..when you say these eat memory…what all other apps/processes are you running? I usually have two or three instances of Visual Studio open…2 instances of SQL Server Management Server open, two, three sometimes 4 browsers open…my chat client (and as stated above I use Miranda and Pidgin)…then various other application like Outlook or Thunderbird, iTunes, etc.

I never have memory problems because of a chat client.
