 Macworld: Editors' Notes: Tiger evaluated: iChat
This version of iChat appears to be much better than previous versions, with even the conversations I had in my multi-user chats feeling quite natural.
: iChat 3.0 is not to be ignored.
I wouldn’t upgrade to Tiger solely for iChat… unless I was a heavy user of video chat, in which case the improved messaging application would probably be worth the price of the upgrade all on its own.

 Adium vs iChat - Battle Royale - "Would you like prize with that?"
I find that iChat's integration with Addressbook.app is the main reason I continue to use it despite the many complaints people have.
iChat, as the "iApp" name indicates, is consumer-oriented: it is designed to be easy and fun to use, with an attractive interface and not too many confusing options.
Like I said, it was a tough choice, but iChat's attractiveness and intuitive visual cues finally won out over Adium's tabbed interface for me. Adium is slightly more efficient, but even the pervasive keyboard commands don't provide much of an advantage over the instant recognition provided by iChat's icons and chat bubbles.

 Macworld: Feature: Expanding your chats
Smartly, iChat prioritizes audio and the frame rate of the video signal—without these two aspects, a video chat would be awkward at best and unusable at worst.
But since iChat has to throw something away, picture quality is the first thing to go—the result being that oftentimes a multi-person video chat will feature one or more participants whose video cameras appear to have gone horribly out of focus.
iChat’s video chats work by designating one system as the “host” of the chat—the fastest system on the fastest connection does the bulk of the work.

 julian/blog » Blog Archive » iChat and Jabber
This is somewhat unfortunate as it appears the iChat team didn’t do much testing against the actual XMPP specifications.
iChat, however, does not follow the guidelines for explicit and implicit feature discovery, meaning iChat is always spamming everyone with rich text messages even when the receiving client does not support it.
Another issue I noticed with iChat is that it doesn’t sync your roster when you add a contact from another resource that’s logged into the same account.

 Jobs: Mac OS 9, rest in peace | CNET News.com
Another iChat feature is the ability to drag and drop files to share, such as a photo.
The program is not the first IM program to allow file sharing, although iChat appears to make it much easier to share a file and does not require that file to ever be stored on a server.
Like other Mac OS X applications, the iChat program can take advantage of a universal address book that will be built into the new version of Mac OS X. Jobs also said that on May 14 Apple will introduce a rack-mounted server, the first dedicated server Apple has introduced in a long time.

 Skype Versus iChat--I was surprised
And while it lacks the text chat features and video conferencing of iChat, it was noticeably less laggy than iChat, and it appears to have superior echo cancellation and good-enough-to-use silence suppression, two things that iChat and other voice chat clients have always relied on a push-to-talk button for.
With iChat, the voice quality didn't so much improve, but the dropouts and clicks and pops that Skype produced were gone.
What I was getting at is that iChat itself doesn't run on Windows, so the slick interface, nifty video window, and text chat functions that i love in iChat remain Mac-only.
