    Was there ever a MS Teams feature anyone actually liked? Seems like the whole product is based on loathing.

          Features Microsoft wants to push and features companies want. It’s widely used because IT departments can just buy Office 365 and have all of the office apps and support for however they’re hosting the rest of their office 365 apps but that doesn’t mean it’s good

      They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.

        I mean, that has been Microsoft’s MO for their entire existence. With the exception of maybe some versions of Visual Studio, everything they have done was see what they can copy off their competitors.

          Wasn’t the original Visual Studio just Borland Turbo C++ with a non-ascii GUI?

      Loathing and fellating their corporate partners. Every part of Teams is extremely user-hostile…

      I bet some employers love that shit. They are Microslop Teams‘ main customers. Making our life miserable is a feature.
