Ah, the good old days when I could just plug my IM services into one desktop app. I miss those days very much.

Now I use three Electron apps on a typical work day.

Matrix bridges do that for me today! Currently using IRC and Telegram bridges, thinking about adding Slack.

Sadly, Electron-based Element is still the best Matrix client by far.

The lack of thread support in Element makes Slack bridging very hard to use, sadly.

I still use Pidgin for Skype and Hangouts. For text only it's perfect:

Works even on old and crappy computers.

Rambox and Franz both do this today. They are electron apps but you only need one for all your services.
