I really miss a Skype app in Linux, and keep closing the web.skype.com tab all the time. I like apps. I don't like web technology being the one and only way to interact with a computer.

I was not aware of the Online version. Seems smooth to me but I tried to make a video call and then it asked me to "install a plugin". Well, I don't want to install the plugin for the same reason I don't want to install apps. So I guess I'm stuck with the Desktop version for now.
I have Skype for Ubuntu and it works for video calls (2013 MBP Retina)
What doesn't work is actually Groups which my coworkers use (https://askubuntu.com/questions/573620/how-to-activate-group...).
But I will try again because maybe they did it.
--edit--
Yep, this now works.
