I rather liked using gather.town during a period of time where our team often needed to pull together to swarm on some outage or performance program or bug. We were up against a very tight deadline for a client and there was a massive feature bumping up against some hard realities. I absolutely wouldn't want that to be my daily life, but while we needed it, it worked. More than that, it was better than being in an office- when I wasn't needed or wanted to crack down on something without distraction, it was super easy to get away from the noise. When I saw a bunch of avatars in a meeting room, I could pop in without causing a disturbance to see if it was about anything I could pitch in on. Thankfully, we're long past that point, and it became a lot less useful to the point that our team stopped using it not long after we were out of crunch mode.
