Absolutely horrible!

The new interface is the best example of how user interfaces shouldnt be done!

Also, core features like setting and changing the status have been removed (or are another example of the "greatness" of the new interface). This makes Skype unusable (I dont want to be on-line while at work, for example) and, as a result, I have to shut it down after every and at the end Ill simply delete it from my phone!
