I think the problem is that we are getting the worst of all worlds right now: successful malware, messages can only be sent when both sides are online (why, if there is a middle-man??), and messages are being snooped on. Oh and clients still display them out of order.

Unlike, say, FB messages, Skype has always felt so brittle and unreliable that I hoped it was peer-to-peer, and this news came as a bigger shock.
