I just refuse to use any part of Skype anymore. They have totally backdoored it and I see no reason to reward then for that by attracting any users to the product.
I've been using the Venum Tox client ( tox.im ), which lacks the directory services in its early current state, but otherwise handles texts, voice and video (untested by me) and file transfer, completely encrypted, end-to-end, and directly p2p.
Most of the time it does not matter what service you want to use, but which one your correspondents want to use.
I mainly use Skype for work purposes, for group communication and collaboration. We are geographically distributed, and it is something that works on everyone's systems (bosses and grunts alike). I'd totally welcome something that could replace it!
Several sip clients could do it. But sip is more difficult to setup than just dropping an application such as skype in your computer. But, on the other hand, they don't impose arbitrary limitations on users, like "hey, unless you pay us, you can not video-talk with 3 people at the same time".
Hadn't heard of Tox prior to this. I'll be checking it out.
And tell us :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
