Features Microsoft wants to push and features companies want. It’s widely used because IT departments can just buy Office 365 and have all of the office apps and support for however they’re hosting the rest of their office 365 apps but that doesn’t mean it’s good
Lol, are you kidding? IT gets to experience the suck of using it, and of administrating it. For as bad as the front end of Microsoft stuff is, the back end is usually worse.
I mean, that has been Microsoft’s MO for their entire existence. With the exception of maybe some versions of Visual Studio, everything they have done was see what they can copy off their competitors.
Was there ever a MS Teams feature anyone actually liked? Seems like the whole product is based on loathing.
Teams isn’t made for the users.
I can’t for the life of me figure out who it is for.
Teams is a part of Office365. It has been widely utilized in corporate establishments.
Doubt any mere mortals would use it as their primary way of communication.
Management wanting to track your activity, Microsoft wanting your data,…

Wtf are you on about administering teams is braindead

It’s for CSuite that doesn’t wanna pay for slack but sees teams bundled in office and says “good enough”
Well to be fair slack is quite expensive, and getting worse every year. Both in price and usability.
They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.

Wasn’t the original Visual Studio just Borland Turbo C++ with a non-ascii GUI?
If your whole ecosystem is in azure, it kind of works. Similar to gsuite
… For the admin. It’s easy for the admin. That’s not the users.
I bet some employers love that shit. They are Microslop Teams‘ main customers. Making our life miserable is a feature.
