Adium vis a vis Gaim

[sydbarrett74]

To what extent are Adium and Gaim related? Is it merely that Adium uses Libgaim? What I'd like to see is Adium become Gaim/Quartz. The problem that I run into is that I'm trying to use Gaim/X11 and it doesn't run very well on OSX. However, Gaim has certain features (like full chatroom support) that I'd love to see in Adium.

It is that they both use libgaim. Gaim's UI and architecture are meant for different APIs and platforms and won't be ported as/into Adium. Feature requests, such as better chatroom support, are welcomed and planned [chatroom functionality for Adium 1.5 IIRC] as noted in Trac in the Roadmap section.

What I'd like to see is Adium become Gaim/Quartz.

I think in general that would be a downgrade.
