I have been following the ubuntu 9.10 development since alpha 4. After the launch of pidgin voice/video services, there were talks of removing empathy from the default installation of ubuntu. After today’s update, i saw, that empathy has automatically been removed, and pidgin has been reinstated as the default IM client for Ubuntu 9.10.

Readers please d0 confirm with me .

Update: Empathy is the default IM client.

This is what Justin Uberti (Tech Lead, Google) wrote on his blog on 30th of June.  Looks like google is finally listening to linux enthusiasts.
