> Compared to Slack, this is way better

Try scrolling up in Teams. I'll wait.

Now do it in Slack - 10 times quicker, and thus usable.

On the flipside though, try doing a video chat in Slack.. Not exactly an ideal experience
Agree. But try doing a video call in a channel in a team in Teams, and watch everyone in the team join, not just the people in the channel. At that point you won't miss just starting Zoom so much.
Especially when you can just /zoom from inside Slack, in fact.
Try doing a screenshare in Slack. You can't, you have to connect a voicecall before you can share your screen.

Now do it in Teams. You can share your screen without completing a voicecall.

The moment you find slack to be faster than something else. You know we have reached the absolute rock bottom.

I have to use both Slack and the Google Cloud UI at work. RIP.
