IMO icq's dumb. It is not very different from email, and the reason I don't like it is because you have to keep clicking to read new messages, and to reply. With instant messenger, you devote a window to each person you talk with for easy access. You can also choose whether to include an image in your IM or just send it(icq only has the send option), you can physically talk with one another... the entire interface is just better.
The one thing icq has that is superior to instant messenger is the chat, but it's not really THAT different.
