Microsoft Teams is the same, but in certain tech circles MS Teams seems to be hated.
As someone who's staunchly in the Linux camp, I don't have any strong feelings -- I use MS Teams and it's ok. In the corporate world people are ok with it too.
Which brings up an interesting cultural disconnect: people in tech use different tools from folks in the non-tech enterprise/corporate world. As someone who straddles both worlds, it's an interesting divide to observe.
(Side note: this is also why many tech folks vastly underestimate the influence of Azure in most enterprises, which always seemed to me to be an interesting blind spot. This seems very similar to the blind spots that occur in politics.)
- karatestomp 7y agoI found the Teams UI confusing and it became one of those "places information goes to get lost" tools (see also: Asana), when I had to use it for a while about a year ago. [EDIT] also like Asana, I gather people who were in it & related MS tools basically all day—so, managers and similar—thought it was fine.
- cc81 7y agoI would like the Teams UI to be compressed more and some other things but otherwise it is alright. There is a problem with people creating teams channels, upload documents there and then people come and go and some of those documents that should have been in some public repository is instead in that channel (SharePoint) only. It does not have to be that way but it is very easy to end up that way.
