Maybe they're going to rewrite Teams with code written by GPT? It would probably be a massive improvement over what they have now.

Deployment in particular, in my (limited) experience. We had to deploy Slack and I was amazed that there was no way of configuring it via Group Policy or such. It had to be done manually on each machine. Madness.
Then Microsoft foisted Teams on us and we had to waste time finding ways to disable it.
In the end, I’m not sure which I hate more. Slack is also a dog-slow JavaScript app, so at least in that sense, they are one as bad as the other.
As a daily user of teams it’s pretty obvious that the way teams is built is not informed by UX experts or user feedback, and mostly is focused on checking off as many boxes as possible to sell the product to C-level. It has a bewildering set of features, and they’re usually either kind of broken or kind of hard to use, or both.
But I have no doubt they’re eating slack’s lunch, for the same reason my employer switched from slack to teams: convenient licensing, bundling and deployment.
