I'm an email in the browser kind of guy. I don't know how people put up with a client. I like to open a link and have it go into the tab next to where I'm reading. I like being able to have my emails open in different tabs in multiple windows. Maybe it's because I'm young, but it's how I've always done it
Email in browser? Heresy!!!
I had to use the browser versions of Outlook and Teams some time ago, and hated every minute of it.
Give me multiple email windows any day. Probably because I tend to action emails and close windows quickly, whereas tabs can hang around for a long time.
Teams in the browser sucks because they don't give you all the functionality of regular teams. But regular teams is still pretty bad. Browser outlook is much better now with Office 365, from an email nerd perspective it uses an updated render engine compared to Outlook Classic. New desktop Outlook is pretty much a container for the web version, so everything is the same aside from being able to pick your preferred keyboard shortcuts.

I switch between Mac, Windows and Linux at work, so I use both the desktop Outlook versions and the browser one. All of them suck pretty hard, but weirdly the Mac Outlook is quite different to, and superior to the Windows one.

We have to use Teams as default at work. It sucks, but it is what it is. I can't get used to using a browser based Outlook for some reason. My brain ain't braining correctly when I deal with it.
Can't explain why.
One thing that much help is pinning outlook to your browser and allow notifications. Then you can Ctrl+1 to outlook from any tab in the same browser window
