Alternatives to Adium?
When I’m at home, I tend to use Pidgin for IM. When travelling, I generally use Adium. But Adium is driving me nuts: basically it is fantastically unstable. Empirically this appears to be related to the number of contacts, of which I have many (i.e. reducing the number makes it less crashy).
So … what can I use on MacOS that’s less crap than Adium but still supports OTR?
I regularly have over 1200px online from the menu bar, and mines stable, maybe there’s some configuration or library issue?

Pidgin in X.
I never got otrproxy to build, and it’s a pain anyway. On the other hand, I found that Adium’s Aim and Jabber support were fine—it was only the odder plugins that crashed it.

bitlbee + irssi + irssi-otr + screen.
