Microsoft seems to be working very hard to get people to collaborate using Microsoft Teams and SharePoint sites for the projects you are involved in the office.

They also seem to invest pretty heavily in making in a developer platform so you can extend it. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph

(and as you can see from the picture of the developer it is very hip)

Teams replicates Slack, right down to the ridiculous memory usage.

We are trying so hard to use Teams, but the performance is just not up to snuff. They took a shortcut using Electron to get it cross-platform. For such a large pervasive company, I don't think this shortcut is worth it as they should have just invested in native like their other desktop apps. It's going to hurt them long term in my opinion. I even submitted a user voice about the memory issue and slow UI.

Pretty sure they are working on a Universal App for Windows. Which means many of your concerns could be addressed. I haven't noticed any issues with the OSX version, but I don't use my Mac much.

Not related to your post, but I just need to tell someone. Literally nobody in my company has managed to understand the threaded messaging in Teams, even after it's pointed out/explained to them.
