After Microsoft bought Skype, it went downhill. The Linux version became even more buggy. The Android version didn't work well. So I started telling people that "I don't use Skype" and to call me on Google Hangouts or my cell phone instead. Slack's free plan also offers voice calls. If you need a phone number that forwards to you, Twilio offers that service at a much better price than Skype. Abandoning Skype over the past few years hasn't been a problem at all.
