Looks nice, it's one of those few Java applications that actually feel 
responsive and even sort of native. It even looks good :D

But that comes at a price. It takes up 70MB on disk and uses up 90MB of 
virtual memory :\ For just an empty contact list, no video conferencing 
or anything. Scary :D

Besides that I couldn't find any new users, couldn't find a way to turn 
off the sounds and that zone stuff is just way too complicated.

The feature list is very impressive but I don't think they are going to 
gather a large following.

But it's a real pity that they don't use Jabber for IM, but I guess that 
wouldn't work well with their P2P setup (if they are using P2P for chats).
