In comparison to Teams, Discord is a godsend. I think the biggest problem in this space is a lack of quality competition.

How are we approaching 2022 and I still cannot click-to-reply in Teams?

Bravo ... discord client on Ubuntu has never crashed or sat there using 100% of cpu doing nothing unlike Teams

  lol, I use Teams in the browser on Debian for work as it only takes a few hours before the "Teams Preview" fat client for linux starts consuming every cpu cycle my host has available.

  That may works with the client, but not as a tab which sorrily is the only privacy sensible option

Teams is an abomination, in other words it's a typical Microsoft product.

  It really is. It doesn’t even make a casual attempt to adhere to MacOS interface guidelines. Even the notification system is completely custom and doesn’t work with the OS level system. It’s insulting.

    They just rolled out the option for Mac native notifications. Of course it’s easy to miss the permissions request snd then you get no notifications at all.

  OT but seriously, name one good Microsoft product other than paint.

    Windows Terminal is pretty good. VSCode is heavier than necessary but easy for everyone to use. Mostly their recent developer tools are good.

      I find it useful to avoid explaining others how to set up their computer, which is indeed extremely useful ;)

    VS Code, TypeScript, C#, F#, GitHub but it doesn't count... I've heard good things about OneNote, I guess.

      I would add Windows kernel to that list. Overall seems pretty solid. DirectX 12 too. Visual Studio.

There’s Teams, Slack, and Discord… what else would you like to see from a competitor? Lemme guess, not Electron based?
