The argument was the slowness, not the name of the technology. He only mentioned named it because _we_ all know the relationship. > The real question is; has your girlfriend stopped using teams since finding out how slow it is? Don't know about his girlfriend, but two companies I was at did (one stopped with MS Teams, one with Slack).

> The argument was the slowness, not the name of the technology I disagree. The crux of his argument was slowness, sure, but that's not why these applications fail because as I said, unless you know what to look for (Electron and React being the two main offenders), by the time you've found out that the application is slow, you're "locked in". Leaving these kinds of software after you've got setup with them is a lot more effort than starting with them. Email arguably more than any other, but messaging apps like Teams and Discord also suffer from this network effect.
