Teams insists on reordering the sidebar based on activity — it breaks my mental focus on work tasks when I’m ALWAYS looking for the chat thread I know is there, freaking somewhere, I was reading it just 10 minutes ago

I actually like teams because it does way more than zoom for the same cost (I'm the one paying the bills, so that matters to me). My general experience is that people don't know how to fully use teams, so it gives a kinda terrible experience. For example, you can embed a PBI into a teams channel to make access to analytics easier. You can also embed a calendar/schedule/plan through planner. Someone at my company created a power app that serves as a menu to direct a user to helpful information, which was also embedded into teams. I guess the pattern you see here is that you can use it as a one stop shop for team info.
you can do that stuff in slack as well, and slack sucks far less than teams

I’ve only used it for a couple of interviews…it’s dead clunky and awkward to use. To be honest I thought it was a me thing.
No push to talk aside from some crappy implementation that requires window focus and can't be bound to a different key. Runs like absolute ass on their own hardware which I'm required to use at work
Doubt they have fixed the issues, even if they have, don't tell me because I don't care, I will still hate them.
Because clicking on a link on mobile does not always work for whatever reason so I have to manually type in the stuff.
Because it does not work on my computer.
Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it's intermittent, so much more infuriating.
I want to use free open source software, and if I were a business customer I would certainly want my business to use free open source software when reasonable.
If all we're doing is sharing files and messaging each other, I don't know why we would need Teams. There are so many other options that work quite well.
I don't hate it, but I don't think it would typically solve my problems in ways that other software doesn't already do better.
I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.
