> It blows my mind that 72% of developers love Slack.

Just wait until you've been forced by your company to use Teams instead, then you'll find yourself advocating for Slack even if you hate it too.




Ironically, because Teams is so much harder to use - I actually like it more than Slack.

It creates just enough friction for people to not spam chat-messages all day with emojis.


100%... just switched to a company that uses Teams, hate it already.


Ah, this brought back "fond" memories of trying to reverse engineer a 3-way chat in Teams, and trying to figure out why I didn't understand the conversation. It turned out that Teams would have a kind of eventual consistency for messages, where one or two lines would arrive a few hours later, and pop into existence in the middle of a conversation (three pages up), without notifying you that something had happened. Because, presumably, you had already read messages with a later creation date...

Granted, this was pretty rare, but we noticed it happening at least 2-3 times in a 6 month period. In those cases it caused enough of a headache that I had to start worrying about whether I was seeing the entire discussion, which is a wonderful property to have in a chat tool.


Agree, slow and a resource hog.
