NewsForge | Can Kopete replace GAIM and XChat? |
 | | Kopete isn't as good an IRC client as XChat for hard-core IRCers -- the kind of people who (like me) may be on between three and five networks at a time, often logged into several password-protected channels, but it's more than good enough for entry-level or lightweight IRC users. |
 | | Kopete is one of those programs, and the 0.8 release I'm using that came with KDE 3.2 is much better than Kopete was when I last tried it, and well-integrated with the rest of KDE, too. |
 | | Kopete didn't either, for a while, and we don't know when AOL, Microsoft or Yahoo will do their next "upgrade" designed to break independent applications that connect to them, so saying "Kopete works with xxx and GAIM doesn't" may not be true next month. |
