i've said it before but it deserves repeating: the Teams client is not dogshit because it is Electron. Microsoft devs know how to make good Electron apps, the best example being VS Code. ofc unlike Teams they actually dogfood the VS Code app and have a vested interest in improving it.
OH i guess it's a bit more complicated than that; Electron was created FOR Atom, and so technically i guess every electron piece of junk is based on atom
i figured it was a straight fork, thus giving MS a head start on some good software
Skype and Teams are different because MSFT fucking dropped the ball big-time. way back when they forked Skype into consumer and business variants, the latter became Lync for a bit then became Skype for Business. then MSFT went all in on M365 but they didn't directly port S4B to the platform.
meanwhile i've heard on the grapevine that there are still entire business units at Microsoft using Slack instead of Teams. the people working at Microsoft don't really like Teams, therefore they give less of a shit and app isn't so good.
oh also there's the whole server-side SPO debacle but yeah.
I will burn down an entire rain forest printing out versions of this for all the things I hate and hang them up if I ever have an office space I am sharing with others. Perfect meme.

This comic just resonates with us, in its truth and simplicity - and some day we'll even appreciate the wisdom therein.
Now, I clench every time a Teams window pops open.
