Comment (by zak):

 Ok, then the difference between our opinions is that I do think that
 people should be aware of the fact that they are using different
 protocols. On a simple layer users just type messages and see the online
 status of their friends and in most cases it works - no argument with
 that. But if someone wants to make specific actions like sending a file or
 writing offline messages (and there are more differences as I wrote
 before) the casual user might be confused why it works for some contacts
 and not for others just because they aren't aware of the different
 protocols anymore. So in an extreme case someone might even totally forget
 which protocols he or she is using. But then again you might say, that
 this is not important...is it?

 Me personally I simply do like to see the different icons of the different
 protocols in my contact list. Just for fun if you want.
