I‘m probably a bit biased because I use Slack a lot and when I‘m using Teams it‘s more because I‘m forced to.

The thing about threads is that they don‘t behave the same as in Slack. It‘s not that they are shown as a single entry inside the history (collapsed), rather they are responses which contain the original message in it. Of course, opinions differ and sometimes I think Slack threads confusing. But it‘s how I grep up and what I got to like.

I think that is also the one thing that makes Teams very bad (not in comparison, but in absolute terms): it tries to be a lot of things but does not really excel at something. For example, calls have amazing quality but it‘s just not possible to share more than 1 screen at the same time. So we still have to use TeamViewer to control anothers computer. Document integration feels a bit like Sharepoint and OneDrive, but it‘s really sonething in between.

In general, I think Teams biggest advantage is just the close integration into the whole Microsoft stack. That is something they can do quite well. I also think it‘s not something to boil down on Teams vs. Slack because they try to be something different even when they have similarities.
