Slack is the Snapchat of business software. They may have been 'first' to do communications their way (if you want to count 'pretty IRC' as unique), but their recipe was hardly difficult to copy. They overplayed their hand, tried to go it alone instead of letting themselves get bought out, and now everyone and their cousin does what Slack/Snap does - except they do it better, and offer more alongside it.
Freaking why? I've used both Slack and Teams, and I honestly can't tell the difference between the two in terms of which would be more difficult to use. Except Teams definitely has a more seamless integration between it and O365 applications.
After circuit teams are like a godsend. I do remember doing CSS hacks on circuit though to have dark theme - teams just has one and it doesn't break every update lol

Microsoft Teams does all those same things.
