New version - totally useless

Well, the new version is nearly unusable. There is no longer a way to see if my contact is online or not. So, if it is not - the call just drops. The convenient feature to press the call button and select alternate landline or mobile number for the contact is gone. Now it can just dumbly call a skype id that is offline and tell you "call failed". Now I have to go to contacts to call a landline number. But guess what? There is no contact list in Skype anymore! So, instead of the list of contacts I registered as my Skype counterparts, the thing brings up all of my phone contacts. I have to scroll through a few hundreds of entries to reach the one I need! Or key-in a name in search pane! Incredible!!! Needless to say there are no contact Favourites or any other way to group frequently used contacts and keep them on top of the list.
But surprises do not end here. When I finally reach the landline number of my contact who happens to be offline at the moment, the program merrily suggests "Invite to Skype"! The damn thing does not recognize he/she is already there, as it seems to treat every number as a separate entry, even if they belong to a same person!!!
New features you say? Let us see. Moments - now I can subscribe to a friend. Well, I would go to Facebook or other social network of my choice for that. All of the friends I want to subscribe are already there. So Skype must have tremendously good and innovative features to make them switch. Which is not the case. Ability to create chat groups? I rarely use them, and when I do I go for Line, because it has diverse and well-organized tools to manage the groups. And Skype does not. Ability to use bots? I never use them, just dont need.
Resume - the new version dumped all features Skype was good about, and brought nothing I could not find elsewhere with better quality and usability.
