I think it is quite clear that so called 'regressions' about Empathy is more like 'We are so used to Pidgin, let it be there'. Yes, there are bugs and they should be fixed. And I am quite sure they will be.
Empathy team seems to me are aiming for more concrete desktop experience and have done their homework well. Also being solely as GNOME application helps it. While Pidgin has to find middle ground for various OSes. It is not good or bad, they just have different aims. First of all - not having popup windows - it is a must. It fits so perfectly with Ubuntu new notification system. You get message, first system notifies you, then you can click and get it. It is annoying to have new window - and I don't care if its under or over popup - opened just because someone ping me. It is Skype default behaviour and it actually makes sense. Also I really don't see how Empathy style IM app can implement IRC right. Empathy guys know this and there are plans to make seperate IRC application using Telepathy as framework. More or less I think Empathy is really way to go.
