I would disagree with this. Customizations is one of the cornerstones of 
why a lot of users like Adium. In my opinion they feel a sense of pride 
and ownership in the product, since they can make it "their own".

If you provide the tools to do this, then the concern about skins 
reflecting a poor image of Pidgin can be decreased significantly, imho.

Anyhow, take a look for yourself: http://adiumxtras.com/
