I'd ask everyone to go back and give jitsi another try. Recently they've implemented all three OTR authentication methods. I've switched away from pidgin to jitsi for the past week now and noticed no major problems. Yes it uses java but finally we have a recommendable skype alternative that is truly cross platform. I even played with the (alpha) android port on a tablet and it handled ZRTP voip/video fine. Let's stop fragmenting every great idea into 12 competing idealogies and develop at least one tool we could point the layperson concerned about privacy at.
