The news that a German state has decided to ditch Microsoft Teams entirely has me feeling a mixture of vindication and mild envy. Here’s a government body that’s actually had enough of the constant interface changes, the mysterious feature breakdowns, and the general sense that they’re paying premium prices for software that seems to actively fight against productivity.

Reading through the online discussions about this move, I’m struck by how universally frustrated people are with Teams. It’s not just the occasional grumble - it’s a chorus of genuine exasperation from users who’ve watched their daily workflow tools become increasingly unpredictable. Someone mentioned how their camera stops working unless they sign out and back in, others talked about the constant UI reshuffling that breaks muscle memory. These aren’t edge cases or power user complaints; they’re fundamental issues affecting basic functionality.
