Out of everyone I know..
-Long time friends,
-New friends,
-Family Members,
-Co-workers and
-Clients...
Everyone always has and still does use aim.I don't know if I even have yahoo IM.

Never actually used AIM - is that the AOL thing? I signed up ...ooft.. about 8 years ago (?) and got pissed off with it because it wouldn't let me choose my preferred name.
Having used ICQ and Messenger previously, I now rely exclusively on Skype - everyone I know uses it.

Has anyone heard of AIM Lite?

The UI was developed by a friend of mine.

AIM + YAHOO

I use Trillian as it interfaces with all the others... i.e. AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, etc. You only need to have this one to use all of them at once.

+ GTalk

I use MSN, although I don't like the limit of emoticons i can use in it's mac version. aMSN is too slow, never heard of Trillian before but i'll give it a go.

I have accounts for all of them and use trillian to view them. Also use gTalk because it works thru the corp. firewall.

Trillian rocks - using it for AIM, Yahoo, MSN & gtalk (via the Jabber plugin). Though I had to muck about with the port settings to get through the corp firewall for AIM and Y!

I only use AIM. And by AIM, I still rock a version of AIM 4.8 that I tweaked with resHack so it is completely no frills.
I don't mind GTalk, but I only know like two people on it - and I only like it in its own application and not through the GMail interface.
Plus after ... well a really, really long time using AIM most of the people I talk to on a consistent basis have it.
I like to think I created the first Away Message which was not, "I am away from my computer right now." And thus changed the world as we know it.

^^ check that out.. no frillsiwlyfel - Yea, I have it does technically have frills and I have a huge gripe with the rollovers on my list. Hopefully it gets better.flavorful
- I say that, because I can't find a way for AIM 4.8 to give me more info space, as I am still limited by its capabilities... I have a lot to say.flavorful
- PWNT and IRONIC!flavorful

For work I used to use MSN, but I felt that was too inter-personal (I really break the mold for computer geeks I guess) and stopped using.
Also, I never ever give out my AIM info to anyone at work, or new people I meet (but somehow they always find me, I guess that's the pains of being hilarious and posted in everyone's away messages and infos all the time ... am I right?).

Just Skype, I guess it's more popular in Europe though.
