The chat style is only 30% of the problem, the whole app UI is a mess.

Having not used it for ages, it was actually great to chat to my gfs family back in Sri Lanka. I didn't have any issues with it. Really easy to use and no window clutter.

I recently downgraded from Skype 5 back to Skype 2.7 on the Mac. (There were no versions between 2.x and 5.) So much happier.

New main window looks itunes-like and kind of like it.
What really annoys me is the fact that I can only share full desktop. Previous versions allowed users to share selected fragment or full desktop.

It really is terrible. I'm downgrading to 3.7 (I think it was) next time I remember to run it.

Yeah, sorry. Guess that option is available only on Windows. My bad.

I agree that the changes in their interface have made the new Skype sucktacular.
