TechMonkey. Thanks for the comments. Sure: I really like the feature that allows you to integrate other Cloud Storage vendors. That's really cool and would be a good addition to Classroom. It also has closer integration with the Video Conferencing side of things which is absent from Classroom but I'm sure that's driven from the business side not EDU. The collaboration side works pretty well and is on a par with GSuite in this situation. But the simple fact is that Classroom been in the field for three years now and has matured during that period, picking up features along the way and Teams is playing catchup - that's the reality of the situation.
Anyway from the link below below it looks as though some of these improvements mentioned in the post are already in the pipeline so somebody must agree with me;)
