I hate it, for several reasons (some of it could be user error or local configuration, but still):
- For a long time, the status of other users it showed was completely off. Like showing people online when they weren't. Also, sending messages sometimes mysteriously failed.
- Cannot copy conversation as text (formatting is messed up). Cannot save it as text without removing smileys.
- Cannot paste text verbatim into conversation without making silly smileys everywhere.
- There is a (relatively small) limit on how much text you could paste in.
- Couldn't transfer certain files (like .js or .exe).
Many of these things make sense for things like unmoderated chat, but I need to work, and sometimes exchange larger amounts of text and binary data.
You are so right haha. I guess working at a bigco has trained me on it and also because of the (relatively) "pretty" UI. Ive used Slack for side projects and its definitely a lot smoother/modern.
I'm not the GP, but I have a client who uses Lync. We usually have conference calls with three or four people, and someone always has an audio problem.
The screen sharing also seems to take a while to sync up. Worse, it silently stops updating somewhere in the call. Lync seems to have the worst real world performance of any screen sharing / conferencing app I've used.
