The thing is, their threaded interface kinda sucked, so they built another one ('chat') and tried to push the idea that 'Teams' (threaded) is for 'permanent' info, and 'Chat' is for the ethereal one. Except nobody really bothers with switching back and forth, most teams just choose one or the other and do everything in there. Bit of a mess.
I cannot fault them on the meeting functionality and sharepoint integrations though, they are excellent.

As someone that uses Teams. It's not pleasant to use on a Mac.
My coworkers use Windows PCs and they all have a ton of fun problems with things as well.
I'm not so sure switching to Teams is a better move than Slack.

Try it on a Linux system sometime then. The only saving grace is that the crap sputters "Skype" everywhere, so you get to imagine what a sad miserable existence it must be for the people maintaining that obviously inherited, hastily cloned monstrosity.

MSFT just pushed a UI update to Outlook on Mac that is actually really nice. I'm hoping that maybe they've finally got their UX together and Teams will improve. Pretty sure my company will be axing Slack in favor of Teams in the next year or two. Maybe by then it will have a reasonably good UX.
I'm sure I could figure it out if I spent 15 minutes, but it's a damn chat app. Why is this so hard?
