My biggest complaint is that you can't save chat logs.
I work in government, and we do a LOT of stuff on Teams, and I'm just waiting for us to get sued because we can't turn over Teams chat logs in Open Records requests.

Screen shared coding with 1 fps. Genius.
Can't even see animations, quick actions, or significant subtleties.
As with all things in business, good enough is king
I actually don't mind it being web based, there are a lot of web based tools that run perfectly fine and don't use that much resource
Teams is generally stable for me running the pwa in Microsoft edge nowadays too
It may be crap, but it's a masterpiece compared to Skype for business.

Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and "FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE" seems to be the default.
Also I don't trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I've had we used the products.
The only thing it does better than Slack: A list of all my chats, most recent at the top, without any disappearing or grouped in some weird way. Slack annoys me.

While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

I don't have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It's a chat app for work, like it's just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It's whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.

I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.
Buckle up, because they're doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It's already begun. There's a "new" Outlook. FML.
I no longer work with corporations, but an online ornithology classI did used teams. It worked, mostly, for a while. Then one day it decided that video would no longer work on my machine. Of course there's no obvious log or anything.
I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.
That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.
It's the only piece of software that's ever behaved that way.
I think that’s a bit insensitive to dogs
It literally doesn't even function half the time.
