Microsoft Teams: Too Many Apps in One?

Microsoft Teams: Too Many Apps in One?

All-in-one apps like Teams? That’s a hard pass from me.

Microsoft Teams wants to be the one app to rule them all.

But I’m the guy who likes my apps separate, like LEGO bricks—not superglued together.

I open my To-Do app separately. I use a standalone Git app (GitKraken). I don’t use the built-in terminal in my IDE.

Give me freedom to arrange windows like a mad scientist, please 🙏

Teams tries to do: - Chat 💬 - Calls 📞 - Tasks ✅ - Calendar 📆 - Project boards 🗂️ - Documents 📑 - Coffee brewing (future?) ☕

I don’t need one app to do it all. I want one app to do one thing really well.

Teams, just be the best chat and call app. Please 🙏.

Anyone else feel like Teams is trying too hard?
