Preface: I have zero love for Slack. It’s a thing. It’s fine. I can take or leave it.

Using Teams after being used to Slack is like going from VSCode to Eclipse. I’m sure this thing is powerful, but it looks weird, it feels weird, it moves like January molasses, and it has a million features I’m completely uninterested in. I’m sure some people get value from all the baroque. I am not one of them.

(I’d rather be using IRC and Emacs but the world has other ideas.)

Not a slack power user by any means. But went from Slack to Teams and barely noticed much of a difference. We chat when it’s small and pick up the phone when it’s not. I don’t want to automate and add plugins and whatever; I want to do my work, but occasionally that means talking with other people over chat, I type and they see it. Needs met.
