   I'm rather happy with Pidgin, so it's difficult to use something less pretty

   Reviewing 0.9.0 Alpha Build 5 (Jan 21, 2010)

   Blaxima: I have the utmost admiration for someone who is willing to admit in public that they're not smart enough to understand what another person is saying. To make it simpler for you, however: the release schedule is irrelevant to the quality of the software, and shouldn't factor into the grade, particularly if you don't appreciate why such a schedule was adopted. For that matter, the quality and maintenance of third-party plugins are equally irrelevant: when you use a program with a plugin design of this nature you do so (or at least should do so) full in the knowledge that contributions by third parties are extensions, not key components. Blaming Miranda for something that is beyond its control is like blaming your car because the road has potholes.
   
   Miranda at its CORE is extremely stable and highly customisable with minimal hassle, and while it's not quite so small as it once was it remains the best of the bunch.

   Reviewing 0.9.0 Alpha Build 3 (Nov 2, 2009)

   Well it's back to a buggy mess again. I've never had releases be so hit and miss like they have been ever since the version 8 builds although the latter ones of 7 were heading that way too.
   
   The biggest problem(aside from the bugs) is that with this being such a bare bones program it, much like firefox, NEEDS 3rd party plug-ins to become more functional. That means that if the developers of the plug-ins stop developing you might be out of luck and that has become the case here. The old plug-ins are causing crashes and unfortunately they're not being updated which leaves Miranda thin.
   
   While I've always appreciated the complete customization and lightweight nature of Miranda it has now become not really worth the hassle.
   
   Targaff, I'm sure you feel you've made a point but I doubt that anyone but yourself knows what the hell it is because I know certainly can't decipher your gibberish to see one. Looking at your review history however makes things clear. You are argumentative and seem to be seeking some kind of attention on here because you aren't getting any in your real life and now you won't be getting anymore from me either. Have fun with your pompous self.
