Slack is not in the same space as Basecamp, work tracking vs chat is a dramatically different use case. A more apt comparison would be Asana, but I'm not particularly worried about that either: there isn't really a one-size fits all approach for work tracking. I actually worry more about the future of Asana because they have those VC-fueled dreams and Facebook-cofounder-level expectations that mean anything less than a moonshot is a disappointment. With all those resources Asana can do a lot of things Basecamp can't, but there's no guarantee that can translate that all into the tremendous sustained growth they need to meet their goals.
