They are now finally putting some work in to improve it. I don’t remember much what I used to hate particularly, it was mostly UI related, bugs or the bad Mac implementation.
The new combined view with chats and teams is much better than the split sections.
It took them until just recently to have a basic code block format like everyone else, instead of this annoying editor-in-editor mess they had before (and still kept for some reason).
It used to be very buggy like you had to hunt down the source of some notification to mark it as read. It still doesn’t 100% sync with Outlook. If an event is cancelled and I click delete in Outlook, I also have to go to Teams and „read“ this update. You can set group events in Teams but they somehow don’t end up in Outlook.
What I really like are the clay-like emojis designs.
the emojis would be fine, if they used standard naming schemes like everyone else does…but for some ungodly reason they don’t adhere to standard nomenclature, so good fuckin luck finding the one you’re looking for!
also: WHY is the shortcut for emojis a fucking parenthesis??? why isn’t it a colon like in damn near every other app???
this is the worst thing about teams:
it forces you to re-learn chat app standards that have been in place for well over a decade, and it does so for abso-fucking-lutely no good reason!
You’re not responsible for anything. I’m just saying if you only require that Windows makes its apps compatible with iOS and smooth, you should require the same from Apple with regards to Windows. It’s a two-way street.
I never said it shouldn’t be the other way around too, why would I need to? Should I mention everything that is going wrong in this world when I’m talking about one thing?

Vendor lock-in. The next generation will demand teams because they cannot get used to other shortcuts.
i mean…that certainly is an explanation, but it’s a shit strategy:
there are a lot of objectively false names for emojis, you can’t expect people to get used to that…
“eyeroll” for example is called “bored”…which makes absolutely no sense. (at least in german, maybe it’s less bad in english)
I don’t see that ever leading to vendor lock-in, just perpetual frustration…
Saying the Mac implementation is bad when 99% of the apps ported from iOS to Windows are an unoptimized clunky mess is hypocritical as fuck.
How am I responsible for iOS to Windows ports?

Bugs around read-notifications are pretty bad. Slack still has those, but they’re infrequent and transient, and often solvable with a hard-refresh.
