Comment (by Apewall):

 Why are we emulating other messenger's mistakes like MSN?

 I'm really getting bored of the "Someone should make it a plugin"
 attitude.  The point is to have the default behavior be optimal, where as
 currently it is far from.  Making such changes because other current
 messengers have them is a poor excuse to base a decision on for what
 Pidgin's default behavior should be.

 I'm getting tired of explaining to people who have used Pidgin before or
 are moving to Pidgin to turn on multiple plugins to get what I(and they)
 feel should be default behavior.

 I consider the current typing notification still a fault in design.
