HipChat definitely is Atlassian's dropped ball,... and after they saw Slack's success, they leant down to pick it up ... and accidentally kicked it away again.

HipChat definitely is Atlassian's dropped ball,... and after they saw Slack's success, they leant down to pick it up ... and accidentally kicked it away again. It's surprising just how badly they've handled that project. A pity, because I liked Hipchat's ability to show more than three comments at once, sane display of notifications, and non-rapacious pricing schedule.
