Do you think iChat is better that messages? I do, here's why I don't like messages:
1) Multiple people can't have a video conference
2) No effects in video conferences:( Those were cool...
3) No audio calls
(Note: All of the above should come in a future FaceTime)
4) iChat had a better UI, you could see all of your contacts and more importantly, who was online so you can find someone to talk to without knowing exactly who to look for.
I think iMessage is better. Just wish that Apple would bring the support of Google Talk to it (and the other IM services as well). It looks better and seems to work even better now. Especially since it works on all Apple products (except the Apple TV).

That's because FaceTime doesn't do that yet. It still works perfectly fine if you're doing it with AIM and iChat contacts.

No, that will never happen.

Messages' UI is better than iChat's. MY only complaint with the application is an inability to add your iMessage contacts to your buddy list, which I'm sure will be fixed in the final.
At least, it better darn well be fixed. I realize that Messages in iOS doesn't show you a list of contacts off the bat, but that's more of a space issue. As there's no space issue on a desktop, they better give us a full list.
"Find someone to talk to without knowing exacting who to look for"? What the heck is that supposed to mean? Why would I want to talk to you if you don't care who you're doing it with? Do you see a problem here? What's the point of talking if you don't have a point to it? Seriously, I'd love an explanation for what you mean here… It sounds sort of dystopian.

I mean that if you just want to talk to someone, you could look at your buddy list in iChat to see who is online. You could easily find someone to talk to with looking for a specific person.

Yes, exactly. That's what I mean. You can do that NOW, save for your iMessage contacts, which actually makes sense. Here's why:
First, iMessage queues offline messages. So does AIM, but that's beside the point; AIM only keeps, what, ten messages if you send them to someone when they're offline. iMessage just sends them all. And that's spectacular! iMessage also doesn't have any restrictions on what you can send when they're offline. AIM only allows text, but iMessage lets you still send anything.
Second, iMessage is handled as if everyone is always online all the time. This would get… interesting… if it was plopped down in the current iChat interface. They couldn't do that. They will have to (they won't do this, you know) differentiate visually and spatially between iMessage contacts and your other IM account contacts. THEN they could allow you to have a list of iMessage contacts available visually at all times.
But again, they won't do that. The solution they're using now is what they'll use going forward. It's terrible, but them's the breaks.
The fact that you can start a conversation on your PC, and continue it on tablet/mobile is unreal. Plus you never have to wait for people to come online. It's constant connectivity to the people that matter to you. That's a game changer.
Some of the people that i know don't have iPhones...so i was bummed about it. I can only message to another idevices or os x ML. If only apple can allow outsiders to message me. Anyone know how?
