VSee (http://vsee.com/ http://vsee.com/) doesn't look bad, but it's also closed sourced. Something built on open standards (SIP/XMPP) like Jitsi is likely to be more transparent because you won't have to guess what some mysterious supernode does and doesn't do with your data. Good luck getting your non-techie friends to use that though. Skype became popular because it just worked, which at that point had not reliably been achieved even for plain voice calls, much less video.
