It looks that Miranda IM (initial release in February 2000) is still actively developed - https://www.miranda-ng.org/.

Same for Pidgin

https://pidgin.im/

I used Pidgin for years, but while it may be actively developed it has been stagnant. It's ugly and very difficult to customize to make it less so, and Unicode has always been broken (at least on Windows). Compared to mobile or even web versions of Messenger and Hangouts Pidgin is terrible, which is why I eventually gave up on it.
They should probably remove "AIM" from their front page, considering it no longer exists.
