Tl;dr The main point of the article seems to be that Slack is a huge time sink that is no more efficient than email. I have to agree. Slack has a lot of cool features but ultimately I don't have time for socializing during work hours or tracking the endless feeds. Although, in my experience, discussions on Slack do tend to be about work, the long trails of comments from every possible participant are overwhelming. At least with email you can easily limit the number of participants in a conversation.
