I tried out Trillian Astra recently. Its user interface is horrific; condensed, and somebody apparently thought that fading out the edges in some sort of misguided Aeroglass copy was a good idea. All it does is make the text on the left and right side unreadable. And the Facebook integration is just a jumbled mess.

So far, there is not one compelling reason why Trillian is better than Digsby. It’s not. Not even close.
