MSN messenger is still active in development, It has just been crippled - no Nudges, no msn games, no drawing, no a/v support etc..You can still do the basics; Talk to your friend, custom smileys/multiple convos.

Note you can't sort contacts by e-mail (a feature I missed from Windows). Adium does attempt to solve a few problems but the group convo feature with MSN doesn't work very well - I still prefer Messenger for Mac because it holds the general 'look and feel' of MSN messenger for windows. (Kind of :P).
