We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don't get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn't too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

  • It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
  • At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn't have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire!

To be fair, you are right about SfB. My previous job used that

Maybe I'm remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.
