Not all criticisms of Slack are "Use IRC instead!". Albright suggested HipChat as a better example. I do care what Slack looks like though - the chat window has so much wasted whitespace that it doesn't show a lot of comms; add in a space-guzzling integration or two and it gets really hard to follow a conversation. Hipchat uses space a lot more efficiently.
