Would that be so terrible? I’m completely fine with having less software, if that means having better software.

I don’t have a choice. I’m forced to use Teams for work. I need to restart my MacBook after every videocall.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoI need to use zoom now but would rather not install it. I put it on an old tablet and every one is happy.
- mrzool 6y agoSay what you want about Zoom, but performance-wise their app is absolutely amazing compared to Teams. I’m sure that the fact they choose to develop native apps instead of Electron crap has a lot to do with their success.

- anoncake 6y agoThe need for software doesn't go away, but bad programmers cannot fill it anymore. So the software is made by competent programmers instead.
