Skype is useless

I hate this new UI and will never like it because:
1: It purposefully makes placing a call very difficult. Accessing your phone book button is almost hidden and once you get there you have to scroll through all of the contacts (no alphabet on the side). Even after you place a call, in the history it will show you the actual phone number not the person (like before) and who remembers all the phone numbers you have in your phone book?
2: Places features at the front I do not care about (like groups and camera). From what I can see here, almost nobody cares that much about them too.
3: Even if everybody here tells you that it absolutely hates the UI and what you did to Skype, you have the impudence to say you are listening to what users are saying... and keep improving the stuff nobody cares about?!!!!
So, either somebody at Skype does not have the humility to admit he/she made a terrible mistake, or (which could be worse) it is made like this on purpose to achieve some marketing and business "requirements" with complete disregard to what users need.
I currently pay Skype to make international calls to landlines and mobile numbers and because Skype offers the cheapest option, I am still stuck with them. However, the second Viber offers a comparable price option I am going to be gone... and will never come back!!!!
Skype used to be much simpler and in spite of missing some "nice to have" features, it used to be a solid app that did one thing well- you could use it for calling, now I do not what the mane purpose of this app is... to be like Facebook, Snapchat, Google +????

The way I feel is like this: You are selling me a service which you make super difficult to use (and I know why), but make something super easy to get to, which I will be able to use even if I did not pay for it ???!!!! Are with your right minds???
