Nah, ease of running it in the browser is a saving grace for us on Linux. MS does not offer an official Linux client.

Microsoft has already had execs saying the next big thing is AI rewriting stuff to Rust. You think you are joking, but I'm sure it is on someone's roadmap in the Teams org.

Of course, being the Teams org they'd likely still find a way to end up with a bloated mess even after a Rust rewrite.
