Dino i forgot to mention it, it is supposedly good client but privacy
garbage on practical level because it doesnt support connection over
Tor, lack of IP-Port configurations, no encryption to local chat
history..etc:
https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/745 (wont fix feature for encrypting
the chat when saved locally, and i assume same goes for username/password)
https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/115 (modifying hostname and port
configuration not fixed since 3 years)
https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/567 (said to be fixed but it did not
when trying that as it mentioned in whonix forum)
https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/244 (no connection to hidden
services supported yet)
has some other stuff:

CoyIM was the best in its time but sadly developer jailed due to his
connections with wikileaks.
