Teams destroying relationships

What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.

Planner can no longer be connected to outlook and thus probably no longer to teams as well. Though I am not exactly sure a fan of any of these, connecting Planner was helpful.

Both are shit as they are corpo proprietary applications.

Why does it have to be so heavy

Chat and video calling is fine. Everything else is hot steaming garbage.

The interface is terrible and nothing works like it should. Example. So I've got a shared folder which I set up in Teams and I mount it in OneDrive. I used OneDrive to populate it, ignoring the folder called "General" because what's the fucking point of that? You can't delete the "General" folder which seemed odd. So I've been happily sending out links to documents in my file structure, not realising that my colleagues had no idea there was even a folder structure there. The reason? Fucking Teams defaults to showing the empty "General" folder so people think there's nothing there. I can't move stuff into it because it would break the links. I can't create a shortcut because they don't work in teams - it just downloads a file when you click on it. So I've created a file in "general" with the title "click on the link next to the word General above to get to the files.txt". Very professional. And don't get me started on the miserable abomination that is Outlook.
And people have the absolute fucking gall to say that open source UI is bad.

What else would you want to use something like teams for??

Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
-
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions

Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.

Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.

Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.

When teams first came out it was good. And Skype was crap.
I think when they killed Skype they pulled that team in to help Teams which led to the current situation.
