My manager forced me to use teams, and I gotta say its down half the time, messages go late. Its basically as bad As skype and there is no reason it should be better in the future.

Microsoft is terrible at making product and will remain so for the future.

Not completely true. VSCode is not so bad in general, and for an electron app it is actually great. I also kinda like their wireless sculpt desktop (keyboard+mouse). But the rest is garbage indeed.

Agreed. I forget VSCode is an electron app. I do not forget that MSTeams is.

I don't really mind Teams, but the fact you can't drop an image in to a chat to upload it like you can in Slack really annoys me.

Huh? I just tried this and it worked flawlessly

I don't mind both, but don't get why should I use Slack/Teams (without Active Directory integration) when for example Telegram added nice group management into the messenger? More feature rich then both of these, suitable for teams. Ah, no group/video calls... But in case they add group calls - the app will become pretty good for even office communication.

You could already do that in MSN Messenger like, 15 or 20 years ago.

Well Teams is not a direct descendant of Messenger, so it's not like they broke that function. For me that's not a good point.

But, for the record it doesn't work for me either.

> My manager forced me to use teams

You know ... either quit or deal with the fact that not everybody in the world will accommodate you. I also don't like teams but common ... just buck up a bit. It could be worse, it could be actual Skype or Cisco jabber.

I think Teams is actually just leveraging the Skype backend. I looked at some of the network calls happening in their web app, and some requests are referencing skype (e.g. https://amer.ng.msg.teams.microsoft.com/v1/users/ME/conversa...)
