I'm actually curious as to why you would find it hideous. 
The interface is much less bloated in the Linux port, IMO, and still offers the same level of functionality, if not more, (Like for instance, it's nice being able to see my contact's timezone below the their name.) while still conforming with your desktop theme. Although I first tried Skype on Linux, so that probably explains why I find the Windows' version a bit stange with its UI arrangement. =P
Although I can understand a desire for something more familiar, but with WINE's more recent audio problems with Pulse, it wouldn't be worth getting Skype to run through WINE anyway, if you couldn't video chat without the sound of Skrillex crinkling his doritos bag drowning out anything intelligable.
I don't understand why the guys packaging WINE for newer Ubuntu releases don't compile it with the Pulse patch, it's downright annoying not being able to enjoy non-native games on Linux, for instance.
