Depending on your circle, some do. gChat is runs off the Jabber protocol. On the Mac, Adium is one of the best (I don't know about most popular) multi-system clients out there. I'm also partial to Pidgin Linux.

Adium and Pidgin use the same underlying library (libpurple), and the lead developer for Pidgin is an engineer at Google.
