I don't care about charm in my chat application. It is supposed to deliver text and media to one or more recipients in real-time. I don't need stickers, emojis, reactions gifs, or memes. A chat is not my main application, not even in my top 10.

If it doesn't work as expected, I will try the next. There is literally 0 loyalty involved in my company.

My core problem with this comes down to UX. I don't think that falls under 'charm' but Teams feels horrible to use in comparison to Slack.

As an example, when switching to Teams to reply to a message why does it focus the search bar instead of the chat window? How often do users search (as their first focussed action) in comparison to using the chat window?

Teams seems to be full of these minor UX annoyances that all add up to make Teams a chore to use. Slack has done a much better job on UX (in my opinion).

How many employees are in your company? Are they all technically inclined? Switching from one to tool to another frequently is quite a drain, imo.
