MS teams is my favorite example of software. Big, successful company, well-funded and resourced product. Absolute garbage, universally despised.
If they can fuck that up with all that going for them I can make good software without.
- sellmesoap 1y agoI think Teams being garbage is a strange flex. How can a product core to people working remotely, be so trash and still have such a large contingent of users? Where's face time for android/Linux/other? Apple is too stubborn to recognise other platforms. I'm rooting for jitsi to win the long game!
- distances 1y agoTeams has a large user base because it is the bean counters who condemn others to use it. I truly believe there is zero software teams who would willingly choose it if given the power to select their own tools.

As others said, the people using it aren't choosing it. > Where's face time for android/Linux/other? Apple is too stubborn to recognise other platforms Apple had said at one point they were planning to make it available on other platforms. But that was before they got patent lawsuits against them for it... My guess is they don't want to deal with codecs on a platform they don't control.
- sellmesoap 1y agoI've been a choosy person through my career, if I can't select the software it's not a place I will work, sure I'll have a separate windows box/VM if that's what corporate needs to communicate with the mothership, but the brunt of my work has been on one Linux distro or another.
