What is bad?
- Notification mechanism - when someone pings you, the new chat window does not show up but is hidden in the notification area, which is really weird
- Does not give too many options under preferences
- You can't search for contacts while they are offline (which is required because most of the people are invisible these days)
- You can't add a buddy pounce
- Empathy would always remember your password. If you tell it not to, it won't log you in and once you give your password, it stays there. (this is really weird)
- You can't close a conversation with the ESC key
The GREAT news is that Pidgin now supports voice and video, so can someone please tell me why they hell did Gnome decide to dump Pidgin for Empathy :-o
How to install Pidgin?
sudo aptitude install pidgin pidgin-themes pidgin-facebookchat pidgin-musictracker

Well I understand that the folks at both canonical and gnome decided to go with empathy because it utilizes the great telepathy framework that will allow for people to make applications that allow for easy collaboration.
Thanks for visiting the blog Varun. I don't disagree with the framework Empathy uses, it is just that the UI needs a little more sprucing up.
Is there any way to use almost softwares of windows Like Autodesk Maya, max and Adobe products. ?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanx
Ashima,
I am sorry but these might not supported on Linux. Most of the software that people use (on Windows) would not work on Linux.
So, I am not sure if you were being sarcastic in your question but that is the how things are. :(
