Thank you for interest. Of cause I can describe in more detail.

LeechCraft is a free open source cross-platform modular internet-client. It 
consists of a core which defines common plugin interfaces and a lot of plugins 
for different purposes. User can install any combination of them to achieve the 
necessary functionality.

The main advantage of such approach is that modules could interact more closely 
than standalone programs in usual Desktop Environments. Thus, plugins can also 
rely on functionality provided by each other. Plugins could also have their own 
plugins: for example, support for different protocols or chat window styles in 
an IM client. 

Also developers don't reinvent the wheel for each protocol. They use existing 
solutions (rasterbar libtorrent for BitTorrent or QXmpp for XMPP protocol for 
example) if possible. And they contribute back their patches to the upstream in 
these cases.

There are active developers command and quite wide community in the project. So 
it will improving in the future.

Best regards,
Boris
