I dunno why you say Skype is horrible, yes it's a clusterpineapple in what presentation refers, but well I've been using it from the past 7 years, swtich from Windows messenger to skype when they released the "Windows Live Messenger" (which if IIRC it was between 2005~2006).
But since most of my friends and family uses Facebook messenger... well, that's what I use the most.
It glitches up on me almost constantly, and people that I talk to on it say the same thing. I've had problems with display messages not working, messages being sorted out of order, frequent disconnects, and massive loss of functionality from WLM. File transfers are absolutely terrible using the Skype client, as it either spazzes out and proclaims everything to be a virus, or says its sending something when it really isn't. One of my favorite features from WLM, live photo sharing, is notably absent.
Presentation wise, its very bland with almost no customization options. It feels like a downgrade from WLM to me.
Facebook Messenger, as in the built in messenger on Facebook.com itself, or a standalone application? Its good for communicating with people I know IRL, but not particularly for people I know off message boards and online games.
