Well that's not very constructive. :)

What specific problems are you having with it? How can they be
reproduced? Please file appropriately detailed bugs on
bugzilla.redhat.com so that we may attempt to fix these issues before
F10-GA if they are truly present.

Fwiw, I made the choice to switch to Empathy for the F10 beta exactly
for the purposes of testing it and trying to squash any last-minute bugs
in it. Whether or not it will be the default in F10 proper is still
being considered. Likely, it still needs a lot of work in various areas
(see [1]), so we may end up reverting to Pidgin as the default IM
client, then go with Empathy from F11 and onward as circumstances
permit.

I for one really enjoy Empathy, I have used it for all my im'ing need since it first entered Fedora. Except the webcam support in msn for which amsn is still the only game in town but not for long.
