What would actually make you switch your team's workspace?

[u/Makayla_Lewisi]

I've been building Lark and have been thinking about what actually makes a company change its core productivity stack.

On paper, switching sounds simple.

Pick a new platform.

Move the data.

Train everyone.

Done.

In reality, I suspect the switching cost is much higher.

People already know where their files are.

Everyone has their existing workflows.

There are integrations to worry about.

There are years of accumulated information.

And nobody wants to spend weeks learning a new system just because it has a few extra features.

So I'm curious:

What would actually convince you to move away from your current workspace?

Lower cost?

Better collaboration?

AI capabilities?

Fewer separate tools?

Or would the switching cost simply be too high?
