I really think they got the right idea by making it look more "mac" window/finder like.... But they totally missed the mark by putting so much white space and padding around everything. The minimal size I can shrink the window to is still >=33% of my 20" monitor, even with "Compact Sidebar" and smaller font. They really should have studied the Mac OS user interface a bit more before releasing this. It seems like they fell into the whole lots of white-space and big font web-design trends...

I think they new interface isn't the "online contacts" sidebar anymore, they've got a separate HUD view for that now (sidebar -> small icon next to "CONTACTS"). If you use that for starting conversations and hide the main window, it's actually somewhat usable. Would be better if there were an option to hide the silly avatar pictures there, too. Edit: Just noticed that the HUD window is always on top. Dang. Let's see if that Adium plugin is still in development…

  +group chat -cpu still an issue -new groups ordering is somewhat confusing. i don't want a ridiculously big window listing all my online contacts with WAY to much whitespace around. i want my groups :( -hud contact list is always on top, that is seriously annoying -the hud window gives no feedback/options to me (except double clicking, which opens the other BIG window with the chat) -the cover flow contact list is just.. and the list goes on
