I downgraded (and therefore "upgraded") back to Skype 2.8.0.866 on the Mac a long time ago. That version actually has a sensible UI compared to Skype 5.

If you search for "Skype 2.8.0.866" you'll find sites that host the original version.

Unfortunately, screen sharing no longer works in Skype 2.8 on Lion.
