When teams first came out it was good. And Skype was crap.
I think when they killed Skype they pulled that team in to help Teams which led to the current situation.
Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.
Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy). /also a developer

Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.

Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.
Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions

Bloated piece of shit. Can we just use Matrix?
Especially the mobile app, fucking trash
What else could he say to not be thrown out? Dude works at Microsoft
Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?
Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.
“I killed Clippy”?

What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.
Why does it have to be so heavy
I used Planner in the past. Its integration with teams makes a webcam pointed at a white board a lot better.
Planner can no longer be connected to outlook and thus probably no longer to teams as well. Though I am not exactly sure a fan of any of these, connecting Planner was helpful.

What's wrong with teams? I use it everyday and it's fine.
Slack is way, way, way better in almost every conceivable way.
It's just the hive mind of people unable to think for themselves. It works perfectly fine for organising communication and files within projects, but it's MS so everyone must hate it such is the law of these people.
The interface is terrible and nothing works like it should. Example. So I've got a shared folder which I set up in Teams and I mount it in OneDrive. I used OneDrive to populate it, ignoring the folder called "General" because what's the fucking point of that? You can't delete the "General" folder which seemed odd. So I've been happily sending out links to documents in my file structure, not realising that my colleagues had no idea there was even a folder structure there. The reason? Fucking Teams defaults to showing the empty "General" folder so people think there's nothing there. I can't move stuff into it because it would break the links. I can't create a shortcut because they don't work in teams - it just downloads a file when you click on it. So I've created a file in "general" with the title "click on the link next to the word General above to get to the files.txt". Very professional. And don't get me started on the miserable abomination that is Outlook.
And people have the absolute fucking gall to say that open source UI is bad.

Chat and video calling is fine. Everything else is hot steaming garbage.
Nothing about it is fine
I've used it here and there but my job isn't dependent on it. I have no issues with it. 🤷
Found the NSA plant 🕵🏼♂️
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
Yeah slack is better, but teams isn't exactly bad.
Both are shit as they are corpo proprietary applications.
Tin cans with string is better
Your funeral...
Everything. From UI to server. Including Forms and stream. They all suck hard.
Everytime I open teams, I am greeted with "You need to login again to continue" button, which doesn't even work.
That sounds like your workplaces network issue, not teams. The only time I have to relogin is after I leave the VPN'd wifi of the office building. But the button works
my org's Teams is accessible from outside the network, so I guess it's impossible
Most likely their Firefox support is horrible
