It`s simple if you already convinced of gaim to install otr. But it`s
not so user friendly to change from icq to gaim. Gaim is confusing
sometimes, in standard settings it doesn`t show you offline users and if
you close it it`s closed and not in tray. It won`t work like it`s would
be expected. However it`s still a good client but to complicated for others.

Well. Yes and No. Simp works as a proxy but the user don`t even need to
know what a proxy is. You just install it and you don`t have to set up
your native client to use a proxy. That`s the adventage. It makes a big
difference.
