To me Teams pretty much represents one of Microsoft's aggravating mortal sins.
Teams got popular. More due to the circumstances than the inherent quality of the app. And once entrenched, Microsoft did what they always do in situations like this. Jack squat.
This could have been a start of a beautiful new era! Strike the iron while it's hot! Show what the money, resources and the technical know-how at Microsoft's disposal could do! Fix all of the failings of Skype tech, and really polish up the app! Did Microsoft do that? Naaah. It's a mediocre app with brand new jank! That's its destiny now.
Yeah, when they rolled it out, I thought they decided to ship an alpha build, to get ahead of COVID, and they'd finish implementing it over the next half year. Then they just didn't.
I also remember like a year ago or so, they made a big fuzz about rolling out Teams v2, with a button to go back to v1 and all that. And I still remember when it loaded into v2 the first time, it threw up a loading screen and then... it looked exactly the same as before.
Well, except for that loading screen, that now shows up every time you refresh.
