My first thought as well, why change when nothing have changed.

#4"What we need is another messaging app" said nobody, ever.
It looks pretty, but this is yet another app in the long list of "Skype killers" or "Voice/video/text" messaging. It seems like it's the default goto for anyone that can't think of something more interesting these days.

#5Unless I'm missing something, this seems to be voice, IM, and multimedia only - no video chat.

#6Privacy agreements just a word without cryptographic technology background as supporter.
Also "everwhere" not means "ios, osx, android". where is windows and linux desktop clients, even skype supports linux desktops today.

I was going to say, I was expecting an app with a significantly better video chat experience, since that's what most people associate the word "Skype" with, not instant messaging.

Everyone thinks we don't need another one until they see one that does something they like but hadn't realised would be useful. WhatsApp with its free messages, Twitter with its enforced terseness, Snapchat with its take on ephemerality - they were all adopted by millions of users who, before seeing the app, would probably have declared they didn't need a new messaging app. Yet they installed it, tried it, and continued to use it.
People will always want to try new ways to message one another. Consequently we'll always get new messaging apps.

#9Hmm, no Linux client ... and you 'have' to set a picture when you register? Really? I'm out.

This is really all I want as well. There's tons of pretty messaging apps. Style isn't enough to sway me anymore - I want privacy. How hard is it to make a messaging app that makes encryption its #1 priority?
