  I personally like the UI. It's simple, straight-forward, and looks damn 
good...keep it the same, is my vote.

  Haven't a clue what 'softphone' is, nor do I use Jabber (might check it out 
though now, heh).

  I chat (if you mean IM) a little here and there. With dial-up, GM isn't real 
great for sending/receiving pictures as I talk, but that hasn't stopped me 
from using it anyway. I guess I'm a bit of both then.

  Hell yes I'd still use GM! MSN is a mess, it's difficult to use, it's buggy, 
it's full of idiots, etc.

  New Linux users? I'd say they'd use GM, simply for the fact that when I 
personally switched over to Linux 5 years ago, I did it because I wanted to 
literally forget *everything* to do with M$. I wanted to use apps that folks 
had worked hard on that were made strictly/semi-strictly for Linux users. I 
guess I'm hoping that new Linux users want to do the same thing, my way of 
projecting I suppose, heh.
