Multi-line chat in BBS's in the 1980s used slash-commands such as these in chat apps...I'm sure I'm not the only one here old enough to remember those. Sigh...

Sigh...like so many other things, what is old is new again.
Forcing people used to touch interaction with their phones to grok command line UX seems more like wishful thinking then the Next Thing.
- Albright 11y agoYep. Slack is a pretty poor re-implementation of IRC, and I'm pretty bummed both my previous and my current company forced me to use it. If we're going to go this route, let's at least use something not so patronizing and infantile, like HipChat. And I'm pretty sick of all these "Slack is going to change/has changed THE WORLD!!!" articles in general.
