I found I have at most 5 convos at once. With the tabbed ui, one window forward
brought them all forward. The Adium UI is excellent at showing me which convos have
new text since I last looked at it. It also shows user idle time and status in the
same tab.
For me, it was MUCH cleaner than arranging 5 large windows all over the screen. I
could see my work, and the chat window, for ALL conversations, all at once.
