Several things come to mind:
* UX for sharing from screen underwent a lot of change but I really like where it is now
* Blur/custom backgrouns/together mode additions. The last one actually did help with a feeling of camaraderie
* Switching into a thread-first model really helped conversation continuity on the teams I worked with
* Various smoothing out of integrations; namely with sharepoint. When you're at MS you're using internal sharepoints for docs and slides, and it's nice having access to everything and having it all feel integrated.
* PPT presentation mode, for me, was way better than using actual PowerPoint to present things in my setup. Not sure if others felt that way, but I did.
Prior to the pandemic, it felt like a more-corporate version of slack with less features that ran crappier. But I went from "I don't like using this" to "this is fine and I can get my work done with it" by the end of 2020.
