I think they should as well. PLeaaaase Messenger Plus! Ever since WLM ceased to exist, and Skype became the messenger we have to use, I've been searching for something else.

All the added features people want are with Messenger Plus, there are a lot of people willing to script plugins and help, I'm sure. And a lot of people probably have ideas that they'd let you feed off of to make the best instant messenger possible. It would just be perfect. Especially since Skype wont let you fully customize it.

If it really is possible, making an instant messenger would be the best!

There are many problems with making a messaging client from scratch. First and biggest are the costs. Make the client program, add in all the features, make server infrastructure, all of this requires money, a lot more than just advertising revenue. Second, is how many people would it actually benefit? IM clients aren't exactly popular anymore. A lot of cost, and not many users, this would end up a huge waste of time.
