I think people like(d) Zoom because its core features were pretty simple to use. Yes, they do really weird stuff like having app settings that you can change in the app but account settings that you have to log in to your web account to change, but most of those features are more marginal. Google Meet, and this may have changed recently, lacked basic features like being able to quickly identify what window you are sharing. I've also seen far more call issues with Google and Teams than I have Zoom. As for Teams, I don't have a ton of quarrels with the video meeting system itself but it's desire to jam 20 other critical workflow pieces into the software made it a huge mess, at least from my experience with it on Mac: 1) The calendar sort of works, but not really, and most features you'd expect to accomplish with a calendar actually need to be done in Outlook and not teams. 2) The chat UI is really cumbersome compared to Slack and it quickly becomes difficult to find anything if you interact with a lot of people 3) The document file system is a total cluster. Let's say someone chats me a file to look at. I click the link and the file opens in my Teams window. I review it partially and have a question for the person who sent it. I go back to chat, send a message, and then try and go back to my document. Guess what? It's gone and I have to load it again. What fun! You just have to get into the habit of forcing the files to open in their native app or load them in a browser. I'm sure there is a way to prevent this from happening but what I've found with Microsoft applications (at least on Mac) is that basic functionality like this is completely unintuitive compared to any other productivity software I've seen.
