I appreciated the ability to have a messenger running on the computer which would always notify me of new messages, instead of having a Facebook tab open in the web browser.

Facebook chat is just XMPP, you can use desktop clients to receive messages. Facebook themselves recommend Pidgin and Adium: https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
