I would recommend switching to Empathy for a few of reasons: * Maturity - After being added as an official GNOME Desktop module (which is also a reason in and of itself), in the last year it's had a ton of improvements and bug features. The new webcam and voice calling support for multiple protocols is just on example. * All new help file is launching in 2.28, which helps users * Remote desktop - now you can share your desktop with other Empathy contacts in 2 clicks - great for remote support
Also, not that we've always followed (we've usually led), Ubuntu is switching to it for it's default in the next release, which I think says a lot.
