Trillian was the superior MSN Messenger client.
Imagine deploying such an interoperable client today. Like something that lets you bridge Facebook, Reddit, X, etc. all in one and use the services however you see fit, seamlessly moving conversations between platforms depending on which features you want at a given moment.
You’d get sued so hard you’d discover new exotic states of matter.
Trillian itself was a proprietary knockoff of Gaim, which later became Pidgin. Surprisingly both Trillian and Pidgin are still alive and in use today.
EDIT: Decided to read a bit on the Wikipedia pages and it was a bit less cut and dry than I made it seem. History's interesting.
Matrix chat has bridges that let you link a number of chat services like sms, facebook messenger, instagram messenger, slack, and a lot more. It's no trillian but it's as close to a modern equivalent that I think you'll get.
I was on Linux so I used an MSN Messenger clone called aMSN. It was a decent enough experience, although the UI looked pretty dated since it used Tk. I learnt basic Tcl (programming language) so I could implement new features myself.
