Skype is horrible. I'm sorry but it is such an awful tool. It crashes, it loses my old conversations, group calls never work. It is truly horrible, the codebase is a rotting pile of garbage that will never be fixed.

I am glad that Slack will not be eaten by Microsoft. I hope they really do implement voice soon.

They have! It's in beta, but we've been using it at my workplace for 2 days now. Audio only so far. Better audio quality than anything else we use (appear.in, lync, hangouts, among others).

Integrated into slack, so you click a button in a channel to start a call anyone in the channel can join. Nice.

And the constant forced password resets -- and then you can't reuse passwords, so there are even more password resets. Of course you sign in after a password reset, you're greeted with another password reset.

Most recently, Skype told me I've lost control of my gmail account an invited me to create a hotmail account to link with my Skype account instead. Wtf?
