I got sick of iChat when I couldn't sign into multiple types of accounts at once. So I moved on to Adium, which is great...except that it doesn't support video chat. Is there a similar program that does?
 
There's aMSN, but it only supports audio and video chats on the MSN network, as far as I know. I, too, wish there was a better solution.
 
Does any know if the source for Mercury is available? If so, where? I cannot seem to find this out on the website.

Using iChat I am logged into aim, gtalk, and bonjour right now... use Chax + ichat to consolidate the windows. I was an avid adium user until I found chax.. try it, you might just like it.

(and it supports video chat)

Interesting, I'll have to look into that. I'm assuming it doesn't handle msn/yahoo (not the end of the world, just curious)?

EDIT: Well, I installed chax, but I don't see where the option to consolidate my buddy lists is? I can't get my gmail list into my main contacts list?
 
Found it. For those wondering, go to "window --> all contacts" to use the "unified list" function.

Yep,.. pretty nice eh? Its a bit buggy when your network connection drops, comes back in... but other than that I love it. I also love the buddy list customization options.

Eh. It's ok. Does what I need it to do, but not without some hassle. For example, I found that I can't edit my buddy list from the "unified" window. I have to go open the window for that particular s/n to make changes.

I also miss the visual customization available in Adium. The giant white buddy list is kind of obtrusive.
