SLim is a catchy name but do we need yet another chat/voice client?

Raise your hand if you think building yet another IM/voice client as a standalone application is a good direction for Linden Lab venture into. Info via Mashable:

The thin client SLim™ will be a voice and text instant messaging client that will enable Second Life Residents to conduct voice or text conversations with members of their Second Life Friends list in and out of the virtual world. While the Second Life viewer will still serve as the primary communication engine, SLim is capable of running on any computer and offers users a voice-enabled instant messaging client that extends the value of the Second Life platform beyond the virtual world.

Back when SL voice capability was first introduced to the grid and most people interested in voice were already using other voice clients like Skype, this seemed like a feature Linden Lab should have left on the back burner for other more pressing features (like HTML on a prim!). Fellow VTOR author Darius wasn’t excited about voice and I can’t remember using the feature even once since beta testing nearly a year and a half ago. I still use Skype for voice in SL. Any voice conversation I’ve ever had with anybody inside SL has been using Skype.

I’m curious among readers who spend time in SL how many use voice? If so, will you run SLim when it becomes publically available (later this year, maybe)?
