I’m also puzzled by the hate for Teams. I used Teams for years and developed on Power Platform. The integration between all the pieces of the MS stack is unrivaled.
I now use Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace etc. and don’t enjoy the experience at all. It feels low quality and messy compared to Teams.
Wow.
I don't believe you.
Making App integrations for Slack to basically anything is pretty close to a joyful experience, the rest of it is comparable to other chat systems perhaps, but are you really telling me with a straight face that developing applications atop Teams (that do more than just plug other Microsoft things together) is actually a superior experience?
I get that opinions are subjective and all that, but so you understand: I'm having the same reaction as if someone said to you that contracting gangrene is preferable to a walk in the park.
Yes. I’ve built apps on Power Platform and I’ve built a Slack App; the Teams experience is superior, for me. Could it take some lessons from Slack - yes, a python or typescript code block in Power Automate would be awesome.
As for your reaction: if your experience is so different, a useful attitude might be to ask why you have such an absurdly negative viewpoint.
Thanks for altering your comment to remove the “grow up” remark, it wasn’t helpful.
To tell you the truth I always assumed it was because Microsoft didn’t really care about chatops or any integration that was not within their ecosystem (or a website). The experience is consistent with that viewpoint.
