Did you actually tried a *recent* version of Coccinella (latest or cvs)? Or 
did you just looked at the *outdated* screenshots on the website? Is this 
ugly?: http://sander.dontexist.org/coccinella.png

More information about this improvement can be found on the Tile web site: 
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/ (btw, under Windows and Mac OS X, Tile 
claims to provide native looks by using the OSes APIs.)

Notice also that there are new icons and that that there are small 
Psi-inspired usability features such as the counter in the roster and the 
greyed out history. Yes, tabbed chats are also possible, of course. :-)
