I totally agree with you Ryan. That's the big gripe I had with Trillian, and the reason I decided to not use it. The way the current version requires you to "cut and paste" is completely retarded. When you make software for the masses you don't change the way you do basic things like "cut and paste". Pretty stupid on their part.
Another thing I didn't like was that the Trillian contact list doesn't syncronize with all the chat program databases. I didn't like that if I changed something or deleted someone from Trilian that it didn't delete it from the central databases. I can't remember completely, but I think some did. I might be wrong. But I would like for them all to do it.
