I’ve only used it for a couple of interviews…it’s dead clunky and awkward to use. To be honest I thought it was a me thing.

Teams insists on reordering the sidebar based on activity — it breaks my mental focus on work tasks when I’m ALWAYS looking for the chat thread I know is there, freaking somewhere, I was reading it just 10 minutes ago

I want to use free open source software, and if I were a business customer I would certainly want my business to use free open source software when reasonable.

If all we're doing is sharing files and messaging each other, I don't know why we would need Teams. There are so many other options that work quite well.

I don't hate it, but I don't think it would typically solve my problems in ways that other software doesn't already do better.

My work Teams is only really active for my department's channels. My department is about 10 or so people, so I don't suffer from the same problems others have mentioned with notifications for reactions and whatnot. My two gripes are:

• I'll send a writeup from my Google Pixel phone while on-site doing field work and include inline photos. I'll proofread my message and everything is good. After I click send, my phone shows my post truncated in the group chat. I cannot see the full message, and it looks like I deleted half my written message. From the desktop or my coworker's Samsung phone, everything shows up fine.

• I'll often find Teams silently closed on my workstation. I might minimize it occasionally, but I don't believe I ever close it, and Windows reliability history doesn't show any crashes.

I think it's because it's work. Its hard to have any positive feelings toward a tool used primarily to talk to annoying coworkers and bosses. It doesn't matter how good it bad it is.

Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it's intermittent, so much more infuriating.

For me it updates frequently and changes a lot of little things (like button placement, or defaults) that just don't need to be updated.

Compared to slack’s remind me later feature Teams pretty much doesn’t have one, and the half assed one is too noisy and is hard to use

People love to hate Teams but I also think it’s more maligned than it deserves.

It’s mostly fine for me most of the time. It could be that I just haven’t had the pleasure of using better options so I don’t know what I’m missing? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do have to say it’s infinitely better in my experience than Zoom. Whenever I have a Zoom meeting the experience for me is so bad I am essentially unable to participate in the meeting.
