Does Matrix let me see Slack channels for existing projects? If Matrix can replace Slack, I'd consider using it for new projects. But if not, that just means running both apps. I, and many people I work with, already have Slack running for other projects. Often projects where I didn't get to choose the system.

one of the big things in matrix is the existence of bridges as a first class citizen. matrix-appservice-slack exists today (and riot.im hosts an instance of it; you can get at it via Manage Integrations in Riot). The catch is that right now it needs to have outgoing/incoming webhooks provisioned on the Slack channel being bridged. We are working on fixing this with a puppeting bridge though - and there are a few other projects like matrix-puppet-slack which also aim to do this already. https://matrix.org/blog/2017/03/11/how-do-i-bridge-thee-let-me-count-the-ways/ https://matrix.org/blog/2017/03/11/how-do-i-bridge-thee-let-... has the gory details.
