Yes, it's a matter of sensible defaults, although they have made it easy to change the settings. Here's an example, I don't use formatting (B/I/U/Font/Color) and I disable emotes, but the toolbar which is part of every chat window is still there, you have to manually per session per chat window click options and uncheck show formatting toolbars. If I don't want formatting, and I disabled it in options, the toolbar (Which is next to useless when it's disabled) shouldn't show up. The other issue is skinning, I don't think the default GTK+ theme they follow fits well enough with most host environments. (Changing the GTK+ theme also doesn't fit the issue, since I think Nimbus is one of the better ones and actually like it) The way chat windows are layed out just isn't flexible enough, or sensibly good by default. I do have some bias from seeing how well the Adium team on OSX has presented their client.. (It just doesn't sit right that a client using the same backend lacks certain functionality) Indeed this is specific to the framework they use, Cocoa which has prebinding and other neat attributes, but GTK+ is more than capable just look at GNOME in general)
