FYI, Skype is no longer native either. They killed off beautiful native clients and replaced them with Electron shit.

  I'm still using the native client, which really isn't all that bad. But the new one is horrendous.

    The native (they called it "Classic" on the download page) is no longer available for download. I found this out the hard way.

      >>>I found this out the hard way. Lesson learned. Stallman up and stop relying on proprietary systems that spy on you and cooperate with murderous regimes.

        Being proprietary had nothing to do with it. They made a technical decision to shelve/bin their native desktop app code, in favour of Electron. There are 5K public repos on GitHub alone that match a search for "Electron" are they all spying on me and cooperating with murderous regimes?

          Gnome3 made technical decision to use JavaScript, but users revolted and forked Gnome2 written in C (now: Mate). Gnome is free software, while Skype is proprietary. Skype users have no right to revolt.
