I can think of 2 main reasons why I don't use it.

1. If Don is on a cable, Skype software may identify his connection as a
supernode, thus Don's $50/mnth bandwidth is used to route calls for Skype,
not that they let Don know that that's what could happen nor does Skype
reimburse Don for the use of a service that Don is paying for.
2. Proprietary software/encryption/protocols that according to the
head-honcho at Skype "will not pass OpenSource auditing for security".
