> I thought Google might do this after not buying Slack
They did: Google Chat. It’s bundled with Google Workspace.
And it's worse than Teams
In no way is Gchat worse than teams. It's basic, but the basic functionality works... which is a lot more than you can say for teams.
I used it for about a year with a small team. It worked well for what it does, but the functionality is definitely stripped down and barebones compared to Slack. I don't remember any performance or reliability issues.
It’s fine if you want a barebones chat.
so is IRC
