Gaim 2.0.0 is now in string freeze, and scheduled for March 5th:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9708956&forum_id=44062

1.5.0 could still be kept around to see if that schedule is met well enough, but
Gaim 2.0 should really get packaged now at least. It is much nicer/cleaner eg.
UI-wise and has new useful features.

Having run beta1, beta2 and cvs versions I'd conclude that it does have its
bugs, but they are not major bugs (I haven't gotten any crashes since beta2). So
I'd assume that by the time it's final, it will be good. I've been using ICQ,
MSN, Jabber, Meanwhile (Sametime) and Yahoo! on a daily basis, with a lot of
plugins.
