Sidenote, I use it because the integrations take a burden off of me. Ie, my CI might not have integrations for Discord. My CI has plugins, and do those have integrations for Discord too? Etcetc. Being the most popular is not always just due to "we use it because everyone does".
Personally, I dislike how expensive Slack is. I'm not sure if I prefer Slack over Discord or not, but even if I preferred Discord, I'd still choose Slack for the integrations that I don't have to write myself.

- notheguyouthink 9y agoI've already used it, quite a bit, as I mentioned. Not for work specifically, though. And never the API of course. Heck, I probably have it open at home right now haha.
