The problem with the Skype app is that it doesn't work on AMD Athlon/Phenom II systems (see also comments on Arch Linux AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skypeforlinux-bin/). The app does have desktop sharing (on a working Intel system), but the web version doesn't.

Microsoft, I still remember what Skype was before you got your bloody hands on it. And I'm still bitter.
I've been using Discord lately; their Linux client rather impressed me. Sure, it's basically a cleverly wrapped web app, but you think their Windows client isn't? And it's not a bad paradigm in the first place -- look at Github's Atom.
