Trillian was my first client. It looks like it still exists and now runs on a subscription model:

Also looks like it no longer connects to multiple networks, but uses their own now.

Ha thanks for jogging my memory. I knew pidgin wasn't the first or even the primary one I used but I couldn't recall what else I had used.

I believe EveryBuddy was the first multiprotocol client, but then Gaim got revived and took a bunch of the work the EveryBuddy developers did. As time went on Gaim became Pidgin, and EveryBuddy became Ayttm.
