A shame Adium has been abandoned. Certain interface elements (such as the aqua icons and certain aqua skins) are beautiful. And evoke nostalgia, as time goes by.

Adium is no longer under active development and has many problem. If you are looking to use xmpp or irc on your mac, using Monal and an irc bridge is the much better option.
