Why would I be upset?  I'm a Linux guy.  I use ugly software all the
time, and I like it that way. :)

As for a fancier default interface for Pidgin... that's not going to
happen. See:

http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#LookFeel

They have the typical open-source attitude of "If you don't like it,
the source & config files are located over there."  Open source
developers are also hostile toward scope creep, which is why you
probably won't see them doing a web service like Meebo.

All that being said, you can probably change GTK themes to make Pidgin
blend in with your desktop a lot better.
