Yep, it is. The only "problem" currently is that there are too few people
willing (and skilled) to work on it.
Feel free to contribute :)

It's not (yet) the end of CIM, it's just a matter of fact that the yahoo

CIM5, which is AFAIK planned to implement the libpurple infrastructure (which is
also used by pidgin and others), but this is not yet in releasable state.
