Skype makes me sad. I used it 10 years ago, and it was great - or at least pretty good, compared to the other options. Video calls, screen sharing, chat. But it had a number of problems. Mostly surrounding using it on multiple devices, making it very hard to keep track of what has and has not been read. Log onto Skype on a device I have not used in a couple of days, and "unread" messages show up - messages I have already read. Over the past 10 years, none of the issues that I care about have been addressed. But we did get some garbage integration with facebook and nice emoticons. They added features nobody wants and have not addressed the problems. It is maddening. It makes me sad. But it is unfortunately still the standard when you deal with non-technical people, so I keep using it... :(
