Sorry if this has been answered in the past. The vanilla chat window leaves a lot to be desired. What are some of the best chat add ons that might make the experience a little less painful?

pChat regroup almost all chat modifications possible.

There is also some others, like TIM, Wykkids enhanced chat, or others

Belrim

My vote goes to pChat too, its great.

I find Unified Chat Tabs incredibly useful and (at a quick glance) I didn't see the functionality included in pChat.

Basically it lets you save your chat tab settings; colours, tab names and options and load them into other characters. If you play even just 2 characters and want the same settings on both it will save a lot of time. If you're like me (4 characters and counting, and numerous re-makes of those) it's an absolute life saver.

It's included in pChat since few versions, it was just disabled by default at its release.
And the usage is also a bit simplier and the sync handles few settings more than in UCT.

I made an addon that is a very helping hand if you are using multiple chat tabs:
FCO Chat Tab Brain

It is able to:
-automatically switch to incoming messages at a tab (after a chat idle time that you can setup)
-play sounds
-show colors at the chat tabs for unread messages
-enables you to remember the last person and chat channel you talked at a chat tab
-autmatically switch to the chat channel of the last incoming message so you basically only need to press RETURN and write
-redirect whispers to a selectable chat tab (so all your outgoing whisper messages will be shown at this tab and not everywhere)
-and other options
