Skype fucking blows. I love it but the software itself is just garbage.

thnx, but I'm actually looking for a client that's compatible with skype (or at least the chat function. I don't need or care about the voice and video options).

Trillian does it.

Currently only compatible skype client(if you could call it client)
it https://imo.im/ ,but it browser based.I would even use it for all not just for skype but i am too paranoid for using it.

Yes but there is chance how it only proxy it,where it's required to have original client running.

It needs the original POS skype client to be installed and silently runs it in the background. :(
