Does anyone else hate the "new" Skype?

[KillerCop311]

The second Microsoft got their grubby little hands on it they ruined it imo.

First off, look at this:


And let me show you the "new" Skype, circling which is bad:


I hate ANYTHING that's Metro'd to the extreme. It's clunky, buggy, and it forgets with the old groups I've been in. Which means, I CAN'T SEE THE SKYPE GROUP PICTURES OR OTHER stuff.

Microsoft forgets with too much stuff, just like Google forgets with too much stuff. I hate it.
Do you guys feel the same?

Perfectly fine, looks better than the last boring slide theme it was going for.

Is it bad that I use the Windows 8 app of skype instead?

And BTW Microsoft never made the new ugly version for Linux. The Linux version is the old skype.

I use that too on the rare occasion that I actually use Skype.

maybeee.

i've had good luck with this app and i generally like it better than the old one.

I just like how in 8.1 you can split the desktop and have a metro app running on the side of it.
