Good, because 101% of places I worked at that used teams, use it because it comes for free with MS Office. I don’t even like slack that much, but it is certainly unfair to them.
P.S.: Kind of an unfortunate date to post this, but I’ll take it at face value.
I hate to admit but I was once part of an evaluation team and we did recommend teams over RocketChat and Zulip for some reasons I don’t completely remember, I think it was mostly mobile videoconferencing (some years ago, no clue about the current state).
You’re basically still mostly correct because the company did not want to pay Slack for 400 people, and thus something else was needed.
Yeah, to be fair, teams do handover videoconference from mobile to desktop kinda flawlessly, specially with a multi point Bluetooth headset. I can switch from my cellphone to my laptop without loosing a single syllable from the conversation. I haven’t seen any other video conferencing software that does that.
Yes, I so agree, channels would be “more organized” but I always end up using chats because they are more ergonomic.
I’m glad this is getting unbundled. However, it won’t have much effect at this point… they bundled during and since the pandemic and big corps aren’t going to switch to something else now. It’s evil genius how Microsoft has created this incredibly slippery slope from a kind of “obvious” or “default” Windows + Office + Azure AD purchase most orgs would want, into a Teams + Azure + everything else purchase.

Yeah, it’s basically the IE bundling situation all over again.
If I hadn’t seen “reuters.com” I would have assumed it was a joke. Reuters isn’t known for messing around, though.

But channels suck balls.
What I hate about teams is that channel and chats are two different things I don’t want to switch around between the two. Just have chats or channels.
