I've found that Slack is a big time suck as well. @mention which generates an email is the only way to pull me in a thread. Meaning that my email client is still the main source of communication. Slack is good for non-work related threads with my co-workers. We have a channel dedicated just to miscellaneous non-sense which can be rather entertaining. What is nice about the channel is that it isn't a long running email thread that needs to be muted and I only check it out when I want to. However, it could just as well be an IRC channel...
