You know, people gripe about it endlessly, but after they rewrote it to be more performant, most of my problems with it ended there. It’s fine as a chat client. Calls work well, video hasn’t been a problem, screen share quality is decent and you can even provide remote support through it in a pinch. It doesn’t even consume 2GB+ of memory when sitting idle anymore.
As far as Electron apps go, Teams hasn’t been terrible for a long time now.
My only complaint has been the recent one where they deprecated webhook notifications to try to push people to their power automate platform. That’s been a massive cluster fuck.
I think most of the hate it gets is for not being slack. And it is indeed guilty of that. But it’s also significantly cheaper for orgs to deploy and at the end of the day I’m just using it to ask people if their issue has been resolved
