It's a collaboration tool, not just some IM client. After 6 years of using Slack I have to use Teams now on a project I lead. Oh boy, it's so much worse. I completely agree that it can make you leave, especially when you are responsible for efficient collaboration and tool like this is constantly in the way. It discourages communication between teammates, channels and threads are a mess so everyone rather DM people directly (so transparency suffers a lot). Everyone regardless of the OS have problems getting notifications, the threads are a joke, so are the reactions. It's so hard to find anything there, channels (teams?), a message, a user. I haven't seen an integrations/bots/apps in teams, maybe they are there, but in Slack they were so useful and easy to add, that they were used so much.
