But in AIM no matter what you set your away status to the linked accounts would just have the default away message from aim.

I've used many of the alternatives, but none of them can get the file transfers right. Triton is pretty good. Took a little getting used to, though, the buddy list is VERY busy. The only problem i see is that when you click the X, it logs you off instead of putting it in the system tray at the bottom, and alot of the features don't work yet, so until the rest of it works, i'll have to wait and see.

On my PC, I use AOL Communicator (basically thunderbird with an AIM client built into it) and YIM. Tried GAIM and Trillian and had issues with both of them that weren't worth the effort of figuring out how to fix. I do use GAIM at work sometimes, because we have a jabber server set up that our websphere server can be set to throw error messages to... so I can get instant debug output in a chat window instead of having to dig through log files.

Used to use Trillian some years ago, then switched to Gaim, which is excelent too, but stayed with Miranda.
