Teams is still nowhere near Slack's features and usefulness. I wouldn't say it's a direct competitor, it's like store brand vs a mid-luxury item

Nobody really likes Teams, but it does seem to have more features than Slack in terms of integration with the rest of Microsoft's office software ecosystem. It's nice to be able to open up and edit Word/PowerPoint/Excel documents directly, view the Outlook calendar directly, etc. It is also integrated with SharePoint and OneDrive for file storage. Teams had video calls before Slack as well IIRC.

Teams, Slack and Discord all seem to be built as clunky web apps; but my experience is that Discord seems to work slightly better than Slack, which in turn works slightly better than Teams.

the thing is: TEAMS just works, even for all office drones who cant use a computer without accidents

I can't get it to work. I have to use an incognito window or it just craps itself. Terrible software for mediocre companies.

Well, since you are on HN you are quite above the maximum level of experience allowed to use TEAMS without hassle :-D
