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.
The hell version you're using, I have some complaints about skype such as the constant pushing for premium to use video/screen sharing (every patch they change their mind) but I've been using skype since 2004 and haven't had a single one of these problems o_o. Occasionally it'll lag because the connection genuinely sucks on someones end
