It 'looks' awful. What's the problem with skype for business users?

There are many drawbacks of Skype for business use. Just to name a few: Outgoing Caller ID issues; SkypeIn number does not offer many options on how to handle incoming calls; SuperNode mode; Share Desktop is peer 2 peer only, thus it does not work in a conference call; Very limited call handling options; etc

Skype IM really sucks. Both parties have to be online in order for the message to be delivered. What gives...? I got burned too many times on this 'feature' when my message was not delivered in time simply because my Skype was offline...

Skype's Voicemail is another drawback...
