Which is unfortunate, but a consequence of Microsoft's perennial, embrace, extend, extinguish - they embraced instant-messaging version 3 (or wherever we are now), and they're onto the extend part - extending Teams' reach by bundling it 'for free' in Office, and the OS, so people don't "need" to buy Slack. Slack won't be 'extinguished' but it will have a falling market share, despite the dumpster fire that is Teams,…

Teams are decent tbh Ive been using them since 2021 iirc and they improved a lot And im using Discord daily which is state of the art

Teams is trash, don't lie like that. It's the single most frustrating piece of software i interact with at work.

Frequently fails to connect, doesn't honor system audio device settings and frequency forgets its own, frequently fails to mark messages as read, sometimes even after hitting "Mark all as read," sometimes fails to send notifications on new chats, especially on my phone.

It's the least reliable chat program I've ever used.

Is the customer asking for a product that takes 5 minutes to open? Eventually customers do move away from crap… they're just very slow.

Customers of Slack don't care - and I think you are talking about the users . This is exactly why developers need more business acumen.

Customers of slack care if they are paying tens of thousands for "waiting for slack to start"
