AIM gave me an unrealistic expectation of how easy it would be to chat with people with minimal interference (multi-chat XMPP clients like Adium/Pidgin that could handle AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and the earlier FB messenger and gchat, all at once with one UI were fantastic) and how easy it would be to send files to people (AIM had unlimited size file transfers, you could just send people files with zero hassle).
