> "Generic Bitching"
I feel targeted. Here is some detailed complaining about Teams and why I feel a bullshit "note taker" AI is not appropriate place to put development effort.
1. It really does crash my Google Chrome window every 45 minutes to two hours. This is literally the only application that does it, so it bears mentioning.
2. It gets 2FA and security wrong.

If you can't get 2FA correct, or enable your program to create inappropriate configurations that are going to screw up in a "serious business program", then yes, you have to fix the feature pipeline so that gets resolved first and that the process of deploying features incentivizes fixing these issues. Otherwise every new feature is just 10 new bugs.
3. It doesn't work well in languages that use IMEs
I can't tag people in chat rooms (due to it's failure to correctly search for Kanji names), and it hijacking my text input and wrecking the Japanese language input. Yes, being *unable to correctly input text* in a corporate chat application is far, far, far more important than this meaningless, worthless feature that will be used poorly 5% of the time and will be completely wrong in the language I am using anyways.
4. Note taking doesn't matter.
I can't believe that in 2023 people don't already get meeting bullet points before the meeting starts. We have our notes all on Azure Devops (which is, in comparison, tolerable)
"Nice for the note taker, awful for the productive worker" is a perfect description of Teams. This is not exciting in any way, I stand by my "generic bitching".
