i'd have to agree,, Empathy needs more work on it before it becomes
default IM.whereas Pidgin is near complete, but at the end of the day,
its just as easy to do a 

yum remove empathy
yum install Pidgin

but what i dont understand is why create another IM when you can/could
just improve Pidgin? surely there's Devs out there that could Help the
Pidgin Devs out an improve it than Creating another Instant Messenger
