I have no problem with Skype. I just don't like it for gaming. It's great quality, but it's a telephony progam, not a casual chat program. No push-to-talk, there's no central lobby or room system so you have to be invited to conference, and with more than a few people it becomes a bandwidth hog.
I hate push to talk. :|
It might be more annoying, and less efficient, but it's definitely better. Without ptt, you can't (easily) prevent background noises, or coughs, etc from being sent when you're not even talking. If you've got 18 people with a fair bit of noise in the background of each, it starts to get a bit distracting. Of course, often it's not a big deal, but it can get quite annoying in large groups sometimes.
