Slack is time sink because it's not task focused. MS Teams users' approach of creating mostly small dedicated or task-related adhoc chat groups is a better format, even if the tool itself doesn't have all the bells and whistles of slack.
Chat isn't designed for project management, but your average slack user thinks that if everyone vents their opinions that somehow a consensus will develop - but more often than not, nothing gets done.

- brmgb 4y agoHow people comment about MS Teams on HN basically tell you if they have always been a developer or if they have experience with the rest of a company. MS Teams won because it brings collaborative editing to Office. It’s ressource hungry and annoying but a lot more useful than Slack ever was.
