If they can fix teams so everybody who uses it doesn't hate it, I'm sure they'll absolutely dominate.

There is also the possibility of Microsoft buying Slack to fix Teams.

It's very unlikely considering they thought about doing that a few years ago.[0] I don't think they'll rapidly push forward with adding features characteristic for Slack as well. Teams is just yet another corporate tool that is easy to sell to existing customers of Office 365.

It’s basically the definition of enterprise software that the people who buy it aren’t the people who use it. The bean counters don’t care whether the users hate the software.
