Bug Description
I don't think Empathy will be ready by Intrepid, but certainly by the release after that, it should replace Pidgin as the default IM client in Ubuntu.
Empathy has much more potential as it uses Telepathy http://

While I think that you are correct, that we should transition to Empathy as the default IM sometime in the next couple of releases, a Launchpad bug isn't really the right forum for suggesting such a change.
The way to proceed here would be to send a mail to the ubuntu- devel-discuss (or possibly ubuntu-devel) mailing list with a comprehensive list of reasons why Empathy should become the default IM client. Note that arguments about the Telepathy framework being better aren't likely to be persuasive on their own - we'll want to know what Empathy *does* that Pidgin doesn't.
