Comment Being a necessary app isn't the problem (Score 1) 54
The problem is bundling. Slack does not have an office suite to bundle with its app, so it is at a competitive disadvantage to Teams. If we want market competition, we need to block monopolistic behavior.
My company is discontinuing the paid Slack tier in two weeks because they got a sweetheart deal from MS with the Office suite. Teams is absolutely worse for our use case than Slack, and we have to spend the next two weeks moving alerts, finding replacements for integrations, and backing up pinned posts and chat history. They're going to waste countless hours of expensive developer time to save $6/dev/mo.
