Well, I like it. The interface is clean and the windows are small. It's not as fully featured as a lot of things, but it's still taking up 13 MB in RAM.
Pros
-Looks good and small
-Integration with Gmail
-Useful notifications. When you receive a new message, a notification with the message text briefly pops up.
-Great voice chat. Way beyond AIM.
Cons
-Ignores Windows Themes. If you've got a customized look, it's out of place.
-No Transparency effects (I like IMs and Contact Lists to ghost when I mouse away).
-No group chat.
-No group voice.
-I don't think it has permanent logging.
-No Tabs. The windows can all be rolled up, and they snap together vertically, but it doesn't really function like tabs. Close, though.
---Google or not, nobody will use it. Messengers are judged by who's on them, and all of my asshole friends say "I'll switch when everyone else starts using it." I hate AIM, and we'll never get away from it unless a powerhouse like Google makes a client that supports their propriety system and AOL's to work through the transition.

CAGiversary!
Uh, I've had Jabber for awhile...
And for confirmation, there is in fact is no permanent logging.
