I don't hate or despise teams. It's far more useful in most normal office environments to have your communication and your collaboration occur in one tool.
I think most of the people that hate it are trying to only use it for communication, usually because they received no training on how to use the collaboration parts or an unwillingness by the organization to change the way they are doing things when they got M365 licenses.
If you still have a shared network drive while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you are sending attachments in e-mails while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you are sending e-mails to get things approved while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you aren't using planner to co-ordinate tasks for small groups of people while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If your organization is paying for m365 licenses just for you to have e-mail and the desktop office suite, they're doing it wrong.
Get TRAINING
So basically Microsoft demands using their whole ecosystem if you want their services to actually be useful?
Use the correct tool for the job.
If you only want a communications tool, only get a communications tool.
Don't get mad when you pay for an integrated suite of products, and then find it annoying that there are more features than you need.
Tbf the people who find it annoying usually have no say in what the company uses. The problem isn't that there are more features but that each feature doesn't work correctly in isolation.
The literal point of teams it is to integrate systems from the entire ecosystem, using them in isolation is antithetical to that.
