So you mean the Lync codebase.

That's a pretty low bar to start with.

As one "for example", that's the product team that couldn't figure out how to stop repeating AD logins with invalid saved passwords for 5+ years. Which invariably led to a system you were signed into somewhere locking your account every password rotation.

An extremely low bar, it was incredibly poor software. The Teams migration was great compared to that, even for messaging.

For VC and file collaboration Teams seems good in absolute, for messaging it seems good only relative to that. Messaging feels like a third-priority feature in Teams. If you're coming from a good messaging experience and that's what you mostly use Teams for then it's no doubt a really poor experience.
