This is of course a popularity contest, but it’s still useful.
+
+
Matches my expectations, eg lots of awareness of Microsoft Teams, people that use it hate it. Discord is desired and loved.
+
+
As you go down the list, it’s mostly that people haven’t heard of these tools. Zulip is an outlier — those people I know who use it really love it, and that shows up here.
+
+
This section is called “Synchronous tools” and this was the prompt:
+
+
> Which **communication tools** did you use regularly over the past year, and which do you want to work with over the next year? Select all that apply
+
+
Ok, I guess I’ll need to go dig into the [Asynchronous tools](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-admired-and-desired-asynchronous-tools) next. Everything is asynchronous when you’re a multi time zone community or organization.
