What will you use instead? What don't you like about teams (or wiring integrations)

Our work switched from Slack to Teams after an acquisition, and I can confidently say that Teams is just complete garbage compared to Slack.

- The interface is laggy

- Scrolling back in long messages is buggy, it often skips around and loses its place

- No built in "whiteboarding" tools in screen sharing

- Teams will often keep ringing on my phone for up to a minute after I picked up a call on my laptop

- Sometimes I can't click reactions on messages. I click the emoji and nothing happens

Overall, it's just poorly made software. It feels like something that was made by a couple of interns in their spare time, not a keystone product from a multi-billion dollar company

Also for several weeks recently my phone was getting messages several minutes before they showed up on my laptop, and 3 or 4 of my coworkers (all remote and in various parts of the US) confirmed they were having the same issue.
Thanks (both of you). (Then I understand better)
