They also keep breaking APIs left and right: my dedicated skype phone (DECT + Skype) keeps losing features and now I can't even call people from the mobile app that have a slightly older Skype version running. The UI is nonsense: you can't quickly hang up and you have to click several buttons to reach a core feature, the number pad. What good alternatives are there that also allow me to call landlines?

The Skype api exists in a kind of semi-deprecated limbo. MS tried to kill it abruptly a while back and were talked into keeping limited support over time. It's completely undocumented now though. They're actively discouraging developers from the platform.
