Speaking as a developer myself, it’s likely not the devs’ fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers’ throats is far more important.
Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It’s not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.
Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy).
/also a developer
Not in Europe - for now. Will be different of course if fascist America murders us all over here. Or Putler. Doesn’t make much of a difference in the end…

What is it people don’t like about Teams? It’s mostly about integration with SharePoint

The job market is pretty shit for a world that supposedly needs developers everywhere.
We need them badly, just not enough to pay not shit wages
