Empathy and Banshee to be in Karmic (9.10)?
The debate over whether to replace the cross-platform Pidgin IM client with Gnome's own Empathy IM client has been raging since Empathy was included in Gnome (Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy). It's that time in the Karmic release cycle, and the debate begins anew.
Empathy has a much better chance this time. I give it an 80% shot for the following reasons:
1. Empathy is Gnome's default IM client. Tighter integration is better.
2. Empathy is pretty close to Pidgin with regard to fatures.
3. Empathy is a better path forward, and is starting to include features which Pidgin doesn't have.
