Discord ends deal talks with Microsoft

But the main problem with Teams is its low-performance GUI (Electron-based). And from what I hear about Discord, it's the same there.

There's other minor problems like insane chat latency, but I can work with that. Voice and Video generally works fine.

That is absolutely not "the main problem" with Teams. It's UI is not very well thought out at all and notifications work with the reliability of a rooster on ketamine.

The only three value propositions Teams has over Discord are:

* Support for threads - albeit again very inelegantly.

* The ability to embed web apps as tabs in a Teams page - this is my favourite feature

* Integration with Office 365
