I used to use pidgin for our corporate HipChat. Pidgin was the best client for HipChat. I especially liked the psychic plugin, so I could get notified as soon as someone began composing a message to me (well before they sent the message).
I wrote a small python script to send my phone a high-priority message alert whenever my boss began composing a message to me. This was especially useful when I was in the kitchen or doing laundry or something.
We lost so much when these shitty corporate messaging services went so far off the XMPP spec that we couldn't use third party clients anymore
