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

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.

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)
