Comment (by deryni):

 I haven't seen any negative responses coming out of anyone other than you.
 You
 were negative in #pidgin-win32 and you are negative here. Threatening to
 stay
 with older versions of gaim because you don't like changes we have made,
 changes we have thought long and hard about, and changes we have defended
 a
 number of times already isn't going to make us listen to you more.
 You have to spend approximately 3 seconds worth of effort to check the
 Send To
 menu which you didn't have to spend when the protocol icon was in the tab,
 I'm
 not going to feel sorry for you about that because we didn't actually hurt
 you. We made pidgin easier to use, clearer to operate, and more friendly
 to
 people with multiple buddies on multiple protocols. The fact that you
 don't
 want to use contacts isn't our problem, the fact that you don't want to
 change
 isn't our problem either, we aren't making a client that isn't going to
 change, there's no point in that. pidgin is going to change as it needs to
 change to stay the best client it can be for as many users as it possibly
 can.

 As one final point, pidgin has this wonderful support for 'plugins' for
 reasons exactly like this, you could write a plugin that adds a protocol
 icon
 to anywhere in the conversation window you like. If that gets you what you
 want go do that and be happy.
