The things that's been transformative for me is that 95% of the external organisations I interact with have and use Teams. I cannot understate the power of broad uptake.
It's not a feature, or a piece of technical excellence, it's just that it is pervasive.

And that’s mainly a pricing issue. Teams is included in 365, webex charges insane rates nowadays.

That last point, persistent meeting chats, is really nice

Yup, particularly if you have a series of meetings (for example, standup) then the chat for yesterday's standup ends up being the same chat for today's standup.
Adds a lot of continuity to repeated meetings and can serve as an adhoc meeting notes location.

Being able to call someone on audio or video, at any moment, without organizing a meeting, is a killer feature. I wish Google Meet allowed that.

In Google Chat, you can attach a Meet invite to a message for an impromptu meeting.
Personally I am glad that people can't just call me up. I would rather be asked over chat first.
Granted, I've not professionally used slack so I can't say if it's much better.
- Teams integration with outlook is the best. Makes meetings with remote team members really slick.
- Teams video chat (at least for a smaller group of people) is way better than solutions like zoom. It's just super convenient to be able to do a video or voice call with someone to work something out.
- The ability to create small group chats with people on the fly is awesome. When we need a 1 off async convo with the right people it's easy enough to just add them to a chat, name it something useful, and be off.
- Because video chat has a chat, it's pretty easy to do a message where you can write something without interrupting the current conversation. That also doesn't go away as soon as the meeting ends (ala zoom).
