The company I worked at previously tried to force MS Teams on everyone. Problem was that most developers there ran Linux and the client was far inferior to Slack on that platform. Unsurprisingly very few developers used Teams and it failed horribly as a decent communication replacement. It became yet another communication channel devs may, or may not, respond in. End result: email still reigns supreme, complemented by xmpp for the non-devs with the technical know how to understand how to connect to the internally hosted server.
So my view is that until Microsoft get their act together, Teams is not a serious contender to Slack. Companies can get it
"free" together with their Office subscription, but most developers won't use it until it works decently on their development platform of choice.
