I've used qTox since I found out about it and when I tried uTox it just felt 'stripped down' to me and everything looked oversized. Tox is now usable and has reached alpha (in other words, it is mostly working, but lacking some features, bugs might be apparent). uTox does not support emoticons or text formatting.
