It works fine on Windows so you and your team will just have to switch to Windows on your PCs in order to continue using Microsoft's Office 365... /sarcasm

No it doesn’t.

Video calls are worse than Skype or Google meets.

The Word thing in Teams is buggy, ‘open in app’ leads to better behaviour but you can end up in version hell. The online Word version doesn’t do the same things as Teams Word or the native app.

As a test, try moving a picture or editing a footer.

crashes all the time. I actually had a better experience with it on Mac more often than Windows.

All the developers at my company have Macs and everyone else is given Windows laptops (mostly Surface Laptops and Pros)

The Windows people have WAY more issues. The Mac experience isn't great but not nearly as bad as the Windows users.

if i have the app open for longer than 4 hours the memory footprint bloats to 6GB. it's absurd.

using the msedge webapp i _only_ bloat to about 2GB.

edit: on my win10 machine
