Actually, maybe you should try Slack in earnest with a project team before assuming the OP criticisms are wacked.
I tried it with my team about a year ago, and all of the OP criticisms resonate with me. We don't use Slack anymore.
- criddell 10y agoWhat do you use? We are about to switch to Slack from Skype for messaging (that's all we use Skype for). Right now we are running both but I prefer Slack.
- danso 10y agoI think what turned me off was the headline. If it had been more well-scoped, e.g. "Slack sucks balls when it comes to doing real work", I'd be less complainy. I've enjoyed Slack for conversation in medium-ish interest groups/clubs (100 <= x < 500), in which the channels aren't overwhelming and there's almost never a need to do private chat with more than one other person. Everything in the context of work loses its allure, such as "unlimited" vacation time.
