When people start going from EverNote to OneNote, that's an indication you've one-upped Microsoft in terms of un-usablity. Not to say all MS products are bad (Office is good) but the well-berated Teams is an example of a monstrosity that should be more usable.

I actually just joined a company that uses Teams and I REALLY love it as a Zoom replacement. It's a less great IM replacement for Slack, but the outlook integration, videochat quality, recordings, transcripts, chat (within meetings) is top notch.
Experienced with MS Teams are varying a lot.

I have exactly one setup, that works and I do not dare to change it, for the pain I had when trying anything else. Teams would not recognize my headphones. Only USB headset with integrated soundcard would work. All other programs did not have a problem using simply my headphones. This meant, that I could not use my 40€ mic with one turn of a switch on my aufio hub and have to have 2 headphones/sets lying around on my desk, only because of teams.

I have barely a workday, on which none of my coworkers are experiencing Teams issues. Mic not working, no sound, suddenly muted, suddenly crashed the whole thing, shown status of people and even oneself is wildly wrong, not being able to set status properly either to fix it ... All these are still a thing. Welcome to 2022.

Some people enjoy OneNote, it may not be bad.
