I guess I'd classify it as just being a lot harder than it should be. Since I'm not a huge skype fan anyway, I rarely bother because I don't like fighting with it, but over all, it's accessible provided you're patient enough to do all the tedius navigation it makes you do.

So, are there any major problems with skype on the mac? I've thought about downloading it, but it works so well on my iPod, and I had so many frustrations with it on Windows, that I hesitate to waste the time. Is it inaccessible, or just harder than it should be, or do only some features not work?
