HipChat provides a couple things that I don't think you can get from Skype:

1. Searchable backlog for all discussions.

2. API for connecting bots (which can be used for C&C).

3. Web-based and native clients.

4. Public and private rooms chat rooms.

HipChat is more like IRC than like IM, which, for distributed teams, is often very useful.
