The client protocol.. and the suckiness is platform independent ! :o)

The html chat option is really weird it's like the page keeps refreshing
every few seconds .. so though you get to "chat" it's really slow and
hardly feels like chat! (I'm on a dialup so the html option appears even
worse.)

The Java client works great... I play literati and stuff on Y! Games using
Mozilla+JavaPlugin and it works fine.

There's a GTK client called gyach .. haven't used it much because when I
tried it(long ago), it allowed people to automatically add you to their
contact lists.
