Adium is indeed much better, you can customise how it looks from its preferences and get some nice simple buddy lists (MSN is bloated and takes up a lot of space, well on windows is does anyway)
In my opinion, Adium is the king of chat clients. Everything about it is great, and it even lets me connect to my Lotus Sametime account for work. I didn't know about this when I started using it a while ago, but it was a nice surprise.
