Skype for Linux' UI is definitely better than the ad-ridden Windows counterpart. BUT it doesn't work. At work we have a lot of group chats, and some of them simply aren't shown in the Linux Desktop client.

And Skype for Web is utter crap (no non-latin search in contacts, WTF?), though it displays all messages.

It is pretty bad that a company with a global product doesn't include global support. In addition to the lack of support for non-latin characters in search, here's another one. I live in a country that uses the Buddhist era calendar. So the year is 2559 not 2016, a difference of 543 years. Skype sent me a notice that one of my contacts had a birthday and had turned 579 (she turned 36).
