    Was there ever a MS Teams feature anyone actually liked? Seems like the whole product is based on loathing.

          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.

          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

      Good to remember that the client for Teams isn’t you - it’s your IT department

        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.

        No, it’s upper management. I don’t give a fuck what you’re doing all day as long as it doesn’t create security vulnerabilities in the environment

          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.

        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.

          Wasn’t the original Visual Studio just Borland Turbo C++ with a non-ascii GUI?

      I bet some employers love that shit. They are Microslop Teams‘ main customers. Making our life miserable is a feature.
