Comment on Ask HN: How can Skype be so bad?

Comments

It's lasted better in the non workplace world than Cisco webex.

Offering direct out dial to the PSTN probably did it huge favours: "it's the phone, stupid" for the generations old enough to remember and want phones.

"Works well enough" can survive a long time once on a device.

Its NAT busting was best of breed.

Much though it irks me, I continue to use it.
