Yes, except that it has a killer feature: absolute integration with office365. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to you, but for companies that is a very big factor.

Correct the collaboration and integrations are far better. Our collaboration on documents has improved heavily just by Office365 alone, the Teams integrations to documents and dashboards makes for awesome project-based channels. Slack didn't do anything but cause distraction and people responding with terrible custom emojis (a feature I will never miss).

Anecdotally, when I get calendar events for random conference services, I'll get a join button in the event which sends me to that service. Ditto for Teams invites from my organization. But teams invites from other organizations don't have the join button, neither in Outlook nor in Teams itself. I have to open the event and click the link. If I do it in Teams, I'll have to click the expand button to see the link.

I don't have any conferencing app installed aside from Teams. I join the others in the browser.
