I find Discord extremely preferable to Skype, which is the next most comparable program of which I'm aware.
Promise I'm not being paid to say that. Just my onion x)
They have a web app if you wanna try that before downloading anything, but I find the desktop app easy and pleasant to use and it's basically replaced the amalgam of 58945 other second-rate IM programs I initially used to replace the Skype text chat when it became unreadable to me.
- Group chats are more robust and customisable (you can have a "group DM" or a text chat server depending on what's more applicable)
- Group calls are more robust and customisable (group DM calls are like group Skype calls but without the every-5-second-disconnects; server calls are like Teamspeak or what have you)
- you can still do 1-on-1 calls and the server stability seems better than Skype's in my opinion
- Discord mgmt actually listens to their userbase when it comes to adding new features
- The text chat interface is more customisable (this is a HUGE thing for me because I literally cannot follow conversations on Skype's current text interface)
- they have full emoji integration come on
