Every time there's a new Teams update, I'm weirdly impressed.

It takes real talent, dedication, and effort to keep up their track record of making it very slightly worse with every single update.

In terms of tools that work essentially forces us to use Teams isn't actually all that bad and they've made a lot of progress since the time when Zoom became mainstream and pretty much every competing video chat was embarrassingly antiquated in comparison. Although frankly it's kind of sad it took Microsoft so longto up their game when they've owned Skype since 2011. If they had properly grown out Skype since they took ownership Zoom wouldn't be a Nasdaq listed company at this point.

Been using Teams since early 2020 and honestly other than perf being weird (not exactly slow, but occasionally just going weird) I've never really had any major issues with it. Everyone says how good Slack is (really?) and then says they need to do /zoom in Slack to start a call or something?

Teams is very integrated.

Teams is much better than it used to be. Yeah it's a resource hog and some of its features are odd (like the notifications for reactions) but on the whole I actually quite like it. I remember back when you could only have one window at a time and when you couldn't pop out content--those additions have been great. Overall, 7.5/10. Its deficiencies are greatly exaggerated.

You’re just exaggerating for clicks. Teams has made incredible improvements in the last 2 years and has supported APIs for literally every business application. Go back to your bridge troll.

Right after I change the default behavior for apps back to opening the file's app instead of Teams, then watch it open in Teams anyway.

Meanwhile they never bother to fix simple issues like copy/paste or the app not crashing every 15 minutes or making search functional

That's not fair. They fix issues sometimes.

Whenever they need to make extra room for a new issue.
