I’ve heard a lot of people talking about MS Teams. Is it as easy to use as Slack?

  My team at my job is pushing Teams over Slack (which the rest of my dept uses). As someone who has to use both, I find Slack to be wayyyy more useful. Teams treats each message as if it is a “post” that is meant to be “commented” on and is extremely oriented around thread-based communication. Each “top-level” message gets borders and huge margins and padding in the UI. As a result, you can see fewer messages on the screen at a time. By contrast, Slack has the feature of threads, but defaults to being focused on the general flow of conversation, with more messages on the screen at a time. Some people probably like the thread-based communication model Teams uses. I do not count myself among them.

    I guess Yammer became in some form Teams.

  Company swapped over a couple weeks ago. It doesn't seem to do well with images that only exist on the clipboard being pasted over. Which made for a lot of my previous slack use. Now my desktop is littered with image i never cared to save in the first place. Scrolling message history is a pain. Jittery, seems to be loading a total of like 5 messages at a time so it keeps needing to pause to load. Sometimes it'll just go all white for a couple seconds There was something I didn't like about copy pasting text in it that I can't remember right now.

  MS Teams is a beautiful, ambitious idea executed with the attention to detail and technical competence you'd expect from a bargain, outsourced dev sweatshop where the project managers aren't fluent in the same language as the people who hired them.

    That's the best description of PowerShell I've ever read.
