Skype for Business has been replaced by teams which is not much better and pretty much still an awful chat application.
- senectus1 7y agoonly for the cloud version. S4B server edition is still in active dev
- userbinator 7y agoTeams is worse in that it appears to actually be Electron instead of the semi-native (I don't think it's pure Win32, judging by the UI latency and appearance) Skype for Business.
- antisemiotic 7y agoBeing awful is Skype's killer feature. You can't carpet-bomb with pings, you can't comfortably copy and paste code or logs into it, half of devs who use linux don't bother running it on a VM and instead use flaky third-party clients, it eats messages randomly, so long story short - people generally avoid it except for trivial shit. And on the odd day when they don't, I get a copy on Outlook anyway. I've read some horror stories about Slack, and I shudder to think what would happen if my company moved to it.
