As it is, I'm glad I have to use it less and less in favor of discord, which is by all accounts, far, far superior.
Honest question: what's the added value of separate windows (to be precise, separating contact list from discussions) to you?
Same goes for various chat apps that don't open conversations or buddy lists in new windows. Even vim, as much as I like it, frustrates me I can't open views to a buffer in separate X windows, no I must split windows in vim.
Window management is a bolt on feature to these apps and none of them do it as well as the window manager I'm already running.
I wish Windows and OSX had implemented OS wide tabbed windows a long time ago, then maybe these application developers wouldn't have felt it necessary to add these features inside the apps.
But hey, it's M$ now, so get used to flat designed ads.
And if there are ads, just like Windows users, you will be able to block the ads with your hosts file.

At that, this client support only the new version of the protocol, and can interact with fresh releases of Skype for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, but can not make and receive calls from the old client for Linux 4.3.0.37.
EEE. From m$ with love.
