What is the best chat software?

What are the best Skype alternatives?

Pros

Pro
Chat head for quick access

Only for android platform though!

Cons

Con
Cluttered user interface

Messenger has so many features accessible from one page that it is often difficult to find what you're looking for.

Con
End-to-end encryption only in "Secret" conversations

If you want e2e encryption, you need to start a secret conversation.

Con
Not very customizable

With so many features in one app, it's very possible you might not be a fan of at least one of them. Too bad you can't disable anything in settings.
