Ok, so the title is a bit misleading. I do object to huge scale companies crushing smaller and nimbler competitors out of existence to quash any competition and doing so with the size and influence that comes with that size instead of making a better product. As someone who touches the administrator back end of Office 365 every day at work, Microsoft is pushing Teams absurdly hard right now. The popular opinion right now is that Microsoft is trying to smoosh Slack into grease. That doesn’t seem unrealistic but after using their sterile and half baked product in a test drive I have to say that Slack at least feels like does what it was intended to do. In my case means that my co-workers can skirt any ticketing/change management process and just bombard me with requests that it would be awesome if I could “just do real quick.”
