I don't know what the general perception of Zoom is. Our opinions of it never really come up at work. The discussion I see of it online largely focuses upon the security issues so that is going to be negative. There is one thing I am grateful for though: it seems as though the masses settled on a product with decent cross-platform support for once. You rarely see that unless the product is intended for a niche market (e.g. science, engineering, software development). Heck, they even package it for Arch.

Indeed. It is really nice to be able to participate in group and conference calls from Linux without having to reboot into windows or macos. Also performs well in all the platforms I've used it in which is not something I can say for teams and Google meets.
