That’s actually a really good point. I think, ui wise, skype and slack served a different audience. I think skype was about 1-2-1 messages and calls, whereas Slack was about chatting amongst team members.
Teams as a product feels like a really direct competitor to Slack in a way that Skype could never do (at least in the last iteration I used it in).
As for Teams, same here. In my last job I had slack and it was quite pleasant to use. Now at my new(ish) job and we are all forced to use Teams as part of the license. And I guess that is the reason behind EUs decision right there.
RMS has been a divisive figure in the FOSS community, but I don’t think anyone deserves cancer.
Hope he fights through it and comes out of the other side well and healthy.
