| Never used Teams. This is not a comparison just some things in Slack that are weird. * Formatting is done with Markdown syntax instead of "word processor" style formatting. In a word processor if you type Hello, Ctrl+b World Ctrl+b! it would produce Hello, <b>World</b>! In Slack it produces Hello <b>World </b>!* * . * /commands are not discoverable or intuitive to anyone who never used IRC or CLI programs. Non-programmers have no idea what arguments are or that [brackets] means optional. * Bots and their syntax have the same problem except that their DSLs are far more varied and arcane. * Very few people know or understand the difference between a channel and a group. * Threads are super weird compared to email. It's like an inbox but not really. Threads interleaved into actual message timelines are not very discoverable and difficult to follow. * Attachments and files don't really work like most people expect. * There are at least 5 different settings panels all with different things and scopes. * Reminders and a bunch of stuff being implemented as a magic "account" in Slack is super confusing to people. * Very few people really "get" apps as well in this respect. They're in your message timeline, they look like accounts, and are in some ways but aren't in others. * The difference between a "bot" and "app" isn't super well defined. Some respond to messages in a channel, some need commands. |
