I've been using Skype since 2007 or so. While I haven't found a more convenient alternative, the application quality has always been extremely low. This includes failing to sync notifications / received between mobile and desktop, zombie notifications that keep reappearing (even after being dismissed multiple times) and the list goes on. Why they can't get their shit together is a mystery to me.

What are your problems with Google Hangout, GoToMeeting and Zoom? I've found all three to be significantly less of a headache than skype.

One of my primary uses for Skype has been phone-calls to family (international landlines) and it has at least been reliable in that regard. Most recently Hangouts no longer works on Firefox (due to Mozilla switching plugin API's), I haven't experience with the other two, which would you recommend if moving from Skype?

I see. I've used them primarily for work, I'm not sure of a service that would cover your bases. I'm sorry that you're stuck with Skype for now!
