discord has possible the worst ui ive ever seen. slack sucks, skype for biz sucks, dunno about teams since our IT dept can't be arsed to let us use it ("we're testing it.. -apr 2017").

I don’t think there is a single person at Microsoft, even on the Skype for biz team, who actually likes it.

teams is basically replacing it, and while I’m not a fan it’s actually useable, which is a huge improvement.

skype for business would often pick one of my contacts' names and rename everyone on my list to their name. even in chat windows. it was very confusing and i thought i was losing my mind when three colleens were messaging me.

does this mean that they've disabled your teams license, or that you haven't gone to teams.microsoft.com

as someone who has never used irc for any protracted period of time, it remains pretty clear that the discord app is a horrible dog-slow electron piece of poo poo. somehow they've made scrolling update at like 10fps whereas if you load the (more or less functionally identical) web version it works fine. the actual ui isn't going to be winning any awards but it's fine

Teams is the same, the web version works fine but the desktop app is horribly slow. I don't understand how they manage it.

admins broken forums hard enough that there were ghosted posts maldjusting the post count so that it always seemed there are unread posts. what also was happening was that sometimes the last post wouldnt appear until it no longer was actually the last

discord is good overall but some weird things happen like the functionality in scrolling and searching is super broken. say you want to find an image someone posted so you search for it. well for some reason you can’t right click on the results you have to jump to the chat, copy, jump back.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I am a big fan of MS's inability to figure out an update mechanism for Teams on Mac that actually works so every time it attempts to silently background update and fails it just closes the app and doesn't re-launch and you have no idea until you start getting the nag emails about missed messages. I've had like 3 support tickets open for it now and every time they fix it for one build and then break it again a month later
