Was there ever a MS Teams feature anyone actually liked? Seems like the whole product is based on loathing.

Teams isn't made for the users.

If your whole ecosystem is in azure, it kind of works. Similar to gsuite

... For the admin. It's easy for the admin. That's not the users.

They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.

I mean, that has been Microsoft’s MO for their entire existence. With the exception of maybe some versions of Visual Studio, everything they have done was see what they can copy off their competitors.

Wasn’t the original Visual Studio just Borland Turbo C++ with a non-ascii GUI?

Good to remember that the client for Teams isn't you - it's your IT department

Lol, are you kidding? IT gets to experience the suck of using it, and of administrating it. For as bad as the front end of Microsoft stuff is, the back end is usually worse.

No, it's upper management. I don't give a fuck what you're doing all day as long as it doesn't create security vulnerabilities in the environment

I bet some employers love that shit. They are Microslop Teams‘ main customers. Making our life miserable is a feature.
