I came to IM fairly recently, and I just can't get used to <Enter> = send. For years in all of the code editors, e-mail, and word processors applications I use all day, <Enter> = start a new line. It seems like every day, one of my first few IMs will be half written or missing context and totally garbled. After that I get annoyed and try to pay attention, cutting the error rate down to only a few more that day. On typical IM sessions with one or two co-workers it's no big deal.
Now there are twitter-like IM variants, like Yammer. I'm on the Cisco Yammer tool which means my instant mistakes are visible to a broad group, including management up quite a few layers. You can't delete them or anything. I sure would like a UI option: <Enter> = start new line, with a <Send> button visible.
Other than that I like Yammer and recommend it.
