Just my two cents.
If you are really concerned about security and privacy, setup a private proxy with encryption that you can both connect to directly, or you have a static IP address simply connect directly and encrypt the datastream. Use a generic VOIP client. Anytime you trust a third party in the middle - such as Microsoft, Facebook, whoever - there is always the chance that they can piggyback that data to someone else - knowingly or not.
Me, I'd jiust pay the extra money to get a static IP from my ISP and setup a proxy service on my end. Have your friends/family connect to you directly, with encrption on both ends.
how about using someone elses wireless connection on a live USB OS laptop with no hard drive & a spoofed MAC address & using TOR while hiding in a bush at night wearing a burqa with a hammer to smash up your RAM in case the fuzz catch you?
Try to see what lolcats I've been looking at then suckers!
Edit: I forgot the disposable external wireless network card *slaps forehead*

SIP is more complicated to use than Skype.
Only, i repeat only way to defeat Skype is make chat client with these features:
1: DHT based network
2: Easy to use like skype UI
3: written in C or C++ with QT GUI
4: Full encryption
5: Almost impossible to block by firewalls
6: Cross platform
7: Opus for audio and VP9 for video calls
8: No other bloat included like Facebook, maybe extendable by plugins who needs extra.
Think this as a Skype clone but much better and open source and this is only way Skype is not dominating any more.
tox.chat, reactos.org
I don't think skype is dead just untrusted. Security concious people are unlikely to persuade all familly friends and business clients to use something else so will have to choose between abandoning voip contact with them or using skype. Unless there is an alternative which can communicate with skype, the conversation would of course be monitored, but all the other risks of a backdoor in the system would be avoided. Is there something like that?
