Teams is actually not bad at all (sans linux/skype annoyance), but yeah.

Teams is super slow. Searching for past messages takes forever. Keyboard shortcuts are awkward... the list could go on. I cant say it compares well to Slack.

  Keyboard shortcuts in slack are also terrible. Trying to paste a snippet of code simply isn’t possible with the keyboard, for example

    For one liners, you can just surround the code in backticks a la `int counter = 0;` (i.e. type first backtick, paste in code, type the second backtick). For code that's multiple lines long and where you don't care about syntax highlighting, you can surround the code in triple backticks a la (i.e. type first set of triple backticks, paste in code, type in second set of triple backticks): ```#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello world\n"); }``` For code where you want syntax highlighting, I do think you either need to drag the relevant text file into the Slack window or use the '+' button to the left of the text box.

  Nobody has email or chat search right, not google nor slack.

    I find Google's email search to be pretty fantastic, to be honest. It's never failed me, even when I had to search years and gigabytes of emails.

      Google's is OK but it's still not as good as a being able to grep a directory full of files, where each file contains a thread or message or whatever.

      Only if you know exactly what you are looking for... sometimes going thru years of emails can be super painful.

  How so? I actually prefer it over Slack. Namely for those apps in tabs thing, where you can have a wiki and files and all of those apps belong to a channel, email integration, skype, the list goes on and on. Visually, Slack IS cleaner though and has those reaction gifs.

Try copying a short message someone sends you in teams without a Like button popping up and blocking your cursor and then come back here and say that.

  I have no idea what you're talking about. I have Teams and Slack open 10+ hrs a day on my computer and I have it on my phone. Apart from Skype/calls and having to use third party bundled app (all on Linux) - it's working just fine.
