- aero-glide2 5y agoIs that why MS Teams is so glitchy? I really wish companies don't abandon native.
- qwerty456127 5y agoI believe companies are abandoning native because Electron lets them reuse the same code and the same developers they employ for the web and also because there is no cross-platform GUI toolkit good enough. Qt could be such a toolkit but you can only choose between very expensive and GPL, and you probably wouldn't even have the GPL version if the company behind wasn't forced to maintain it.
- aero-glide2 5y agoI can understand if MS Teams was some indie dev. Surely MS can just hire more developers?
- solarkraft 5y agoThe Office suite is no less glitchy.
- qwerty456127 5y agoDo you mean Office 365? Classic offline Office seems Okay.
- sebazzz 5y agoWell, it does make me wonder. Going from Angular or AngularJS to React is basically rewriting the front-end - also conceptually in regard to React immutability concept. On the other hand, they have already WebView for Blazor and they need Teams to be cross-platform, also for Linux.
