> * Posts? Why can’t messages be more lightweight.

The alternative is group DMs but those come with many issues as well:

* They tend to proliferate every time you need to chat with a slightly different group of people;

* No support for threads whatsoever;

* Why is it in a completely separate place from "teams"?

> * No custom emojis like party parrot.

Custom emojis and gif search integration. I know Teams has the latter but it's clunky.

Agree. Formatting a message in Teams is like playing the lottery. You have a chance of winning but really in all likelihood you will lose.

Slack's WYSIWYG editor is pretty bad as well, but: it's much, much better than Teams's; and I can disable it altogether.
