I use Trillian on my PC and they both sync up just fine. However, it does sound like Adium is catching up with features such as meta-contacts in future releases so maybe I'll take another look in the future.

Adium has been floating about since the early days of OSX as a super lightweight AIM client. Be sure to keep iChat or AIM around to do some file transfers. Adium isn't too good at that yet. Tabbed windows are great... especially on a PowerBook, all of a sudden there is a lot more screen space. Oh man have you been out in the dark.

It seemed to want to maintain the lists. With Proteus I could log into my Yahoo and AIM accounts, but it didn’t retrieve my buddy lists from the servers. It seemed to want to maintain the lists.

It has gotten rather complicated and confusing since its OS 9 days. Once it's tweaked just the way you like it, it's great, but that can take a while. As soon as Adium has file transfers & a menu bar item, I'm dumping iChat permanently. I like Adium a lot but I think it’s suffering from preference-sprawl.

Not sure what you mean by "pull in my buddy lists", but I haven't found it lacking any features that I need and find it a little more polished than Adium and Fire. The developer of Proteus has now left to work for Apple on iChat, I believe, and the app has been taken over by others so we'll see if it remains my favorite.
