I have to use teams every day, I find extremely slow and missing basic functionality eg reply to message. It has many fancy features but honestly I find it extremely buggy especially for Linux OS.

I'm baffled at how bad Teams is, I also have to use it every day at work, and it feels like bad software that would've been made 10 years ago.

Everything is painfully slow, counter-intuitive, buggy, it seems every view has to reload from scratch at each tab switch, even in the native application. I don't see how Microsoft could release this, it's the first time in a long time I actively despise a piece of software.

To reply to a message you have to copy it and put a > in front of it.

I have no idea why it isn't built into the UI

Seems be only a limitation of the desktop versions. I can reply to specific messages on my iOS devices without issue.

Our client uses Teams, we use Teams, and we communicate with each other using the original Skype for Business federation we had when we both used Skype for Business. All because my employer somehow doesn't support Teams federation (there are Teams groups with guest accounts, but that isn't the same because it requires you to switch context).

Same here. I'm not going to say Teams is the pinnacle of communication software, but for our company it just works for the important stuff.

It has mostly replaced Teamviewer too, in that the remote control is fine enough.

We're a Windows shop though, so I've only used the Windows and Android clients, maybe the story is different on Linux or Mac.

I'm using it on Mac and have no complaints. Skype was a PITA, though.
