Not completely true. VSCode is not so bad in general, and for an electron app it is actually great. I also kinda like their wireless sculpt desktop (keyboard+mouse). But the rest is garbage indeed.

Agreed. I forget VSCode is an electron app. I do not forget that MSTeams is.

I don't really mind Teams, but the fact you can't drop an image in to a chat to upload it like you can in Slack really annoys me.

Huh? I just tried this and it worked flawlessly

I don't mind both, but don't get why should I use Slack/Teams (without Active Directory integration) when for example Telegram added nice group management into the messenger? More feature rich then both of these, suitable for teams. Ah, no group/video calls... But in case they add group calls - the app will become pretty good for even office communication.

You could already do that in MSN Messenger like, 15 or 20 years ago.

Well Teams is not a direct descendant of Messenger, so it's not like they broke that function. For me that's not a good point.

But, for the record it doesn't work for me either.

> My manager forced me to use teams

You know ... either quit or deal with the fact that not everybody in the world will accommodate you. I also don't like teams but common ... just buck up a bit. It could be worse, it could be actual Skype or Cisco jabber.

I think Teams is actually just leveraging the Skype backend. I looked at some of the network calls happening in their web app, and some requests are referencing skype (e.g. https://amer.ng.msg.teams.microsoft.com/v1/users/ME/conversa...)
