Comment (by leftyfb):

 What you don't seem to understand is... you keep saying "give me a good
 reason why you want this feature". The fact that so many people want it is
 a good enough reason. Thats why it's called a preference. I PREFER to look
 at my buddy list and see who is signed on and on WHICH PROTOCOL they are
 sign on. I do not want to right-click any buddy's to see what protocols
 they are signed on. I do not want to hover over a buddy to see which
 protocols they are signed onto. I want to GLANCE/LOOK at my buddy list and
 QUICKLY see who is signed on and to which protocols. What you don't seem
 to understand is, right-clicking or hovering over and waiting for a
 tooltip (I have tooltips disabled.. my PREFERENCE) is not as quick as
 LOOKING at my buddy list. How about looking at your buddy list and seeing
 within a few seconds, which protocols 20 of your buddies are signed onto?
 It would take at least 20 seconds to hover over and each one individually
 to see which protocols they are signed onto. Even more if i'm going to
 right-click each.

 I love and have always used gaim. I will continue to do so, but never to
 2.x since it's been stated that this preference will never make it back
 into the code. Hopefully enough people will complain about this and
 hopefully the right developers will understand the difference between a
 major usabilty preference and meaningless bells and whistles.
