I've never used Telegram, but I suspect the Teams integration with SharePoint/Office365 and the (terrible) way Teams tries to be cake icing and floor wax by integrating file store, wiki, document library, telephone, whiteboard, plugin app ecosystem and webhook scripting environment with Windows ACLs makes it more complex than an independent chat/call/video call program?
- kaba0 5y agoPerhaps a bit? But as others wrote, they have 50 people. How many does Microsoft have (and of course, Google, Facebook are also bad at it)
- jodrellblank 5y agoMicrosoft has 160,000. Don't get me wrong, I loathe Teams and its laggish bullshit nature as much as the rest of the pitchfork wielding people in this thread, it's just that it's not apples-to-apples comparison with a pure chat/call client and the headcount needed to develop it because of how much extra junk is hiding in Teams.
- mindri0t 5y agoI agree with your point however it just goes to reinforce that part of the failure of teams is that it kind of does a lot of things but it does all those things really badly. If they had some notion of a product vision, some focus, some opinions and executed on those with a users first attitude then it might not be in such a sorry state and it would probably be a whole lot easier to deliver great native experiences. IMHO a big part of the problem is this idea of just throwing features at applications without designing an actual product that seems to be extremely popular but always dreadful. Do less and deliver excellence, don’t do everything half arsed and throw more adverts at the resulting problem.
