Ugh, I've been convinced for some time that Skype needs to be a

Maybe they already do, but they *really* need to allow other people to
write Skype clients. Because they're clearly incompetent at it, and
while their *service* is great (well, aside from willfully handing all
your correspondence over to the government without any due process
whatsoever) their own client applications are by far the biggest
liability to their own business (aside from the Google-like lack of
respect for user privacy...but almost nobody cares about that anyway,
so it's less of a threat to them than their own broken client
applications are.)
I'm using Adium as a Skype client. But unfortunately the standard Skupe
client needs to run as well, which sucks.
