Is everyone on HN running their computers in some parallel universe where apps are running 10X slower than my computer?

No, but on the other hand, I do have some glimmer of hope that eventually someone at Microsoft will see these kinds of comments and do something to fix that abomination. I have no doubt Microsoft employs many very talented people, but none of them seem to be working on the user facing products which make my corporate laptop run so poorly (Teams or OneDrive).

They've transitioned the consumer client from Electron to Edge WebView, Angular to React, and the same for the enterprise application appears to be in public preview and slated for general availability later this year. Still web tech but it's supposed to address some of the memory and performance problems.

So I think they've known how unpleasant Teams is!

To be fair, it has already improved a lot. They are doing something whether they see your comment or not.

Teams is hot garbage, it feels like it was designed to be terrible at everything it does. Everything feels laggy in it compared to Slack/Zoom.

Your kidding right, I mean teams is not great, but compared to the UI rubbish of zoom and slack?

Take for example the whole business of screensharing, if you share a single screen in zoom you get black blocks for all the zoom windows. Yes it makes sense that I don't share the window with participants, but at least let me freaking close it. Similarly moving the controls from bottom to top of the screen reliably confuses early (and even more advanced users).

And don't get me started on quoting text or including math in slack and what is the whole threads section?!

I think the problem is that using well optimised programs (Sublime text for example) on modern computers feels unbelievably fast.

Using something like Teams by comparison feels like mollases.
