Unpopular opinion I guess, but I think Teams is actually pretty good at my workplace.
Have you been forced to use "New Teams" that loves to close itself randomly throughout the day and also doesn't allow you to pin it to the taskbar even though the option is there and selectable? It also has a permanent "Update" button at the top of the window that nags you to update but when you select it, it tells you that you're running a newer version than what's available.
Also constantly asks if you want to try the new teams even though you're using the new fucking teams.

In terms of working, I find discord best. SharePoint is incredibly slow for me, all the materials inside teams is dumped there.

Microsoft isn't slacking with teams.
Someone should face jail time for this piece of crap that I can't opt out of.
And OneDrive as well. That piece of shit installed itself as the default save as location, and after removing it from my system, the save as dialogue now hangs for 20 seconds. And the policy to remove OD as a save location doesn't work whatsoever.
Am I taking crazy pills? Discord and Slack suck just as much imo. They are all a shitty web app repackaged for the desktop. And they are all fine, barely anything to chose betweem them. Teams is probably the best as the calendar integration with outlook and hosting ad-hoc drop in meetings in a room is good, no really, the virtual office is fantastic for pairing and team work.
IM peaked with IRC though, the simplicity was excellent, Matrix the closest thing to it imo. I do wish more stuff integrated with it to offer the same business experience as teams
Its not a question of which one is good or bad.
I hate that it's links are "incompatible" with Firefox, even though if you trick it into thinking it's Chrome, it works just fine.
this here - fuck that BS. Also, the Linux Desktop app discontinued since 2022 (still works, for now, on my debian)
Yeah they are shit, but aren't forced down your throat by the OS.
I hate teams with a passion. As long as you have to work with more than one organization, nothing works whatsoever. You are constantly logged out, have to go through their stupid authenticator app, can't save a second login (only a private one, not an organization), links open in the wrong org (even if you are logged in), etc. etc.
I've reached the point where I use teams exclusively in Edge, alongside with Outlook, because both of their desktop apps are utter crap.
