My team tried it out at the beginning of Covid. It performed really bad for me. I've heard it's better now, but that experience really turned me off to it.

Very well, it would seem. I'm on Teams for close to a year now. It's great, much better collaborative tool than Slack - assuming your company buys into MS ecosystem enough to also use MS Office, Outlook and SharePoint. I keep hearing all these negative comments about it, but my N=1 experience since April disagrees. I'm guessing it's the matter of all these integrations.

  Teams is much, much better than Slack. I don't know if there is something better than Teams, but between Slack and Teams, Teams is vastly superior, even without MS integrations in my opinion.

MS Teams sucks like anything. The calls are bungled up almost half the time. I get calls on both phone and laptop, and can’t accept for at least 10 seconds after I start hearing the incoming call sound. And of course, there’s omnipresent “Poor network” notification, even when network is strong, leading to call drops or in the very least highly attenuated communication. The moment you start Teams, it has to guzzle at least 0.5GB of your RAM. Poorly designed software (or should I say bloatware)

  I meant it economically, in the sense if it is a threat to startups

  My company is pretty slow to adopt stuff fortunately. They paid to retain support for Windows 7 up until mid 2020. It's probably gonna be another year or two until someone even mentions distributing teams.

We use Slack at my new job and I miss Teams. Teams is very far from perfect but Slack is worse in my opinion because it just seems to have been designed from the start with the goal of disrupting your productivity. It feels like I'm fighting a constant uphill battle - mute this, unsubscribe from that etc etc. - I guess the main reason why Teams doesn't feel as much "noisy" is the fact that it's based around the idea of teams - as the name suggests.
