I really enjoy a separate app as opposed to a browser tab. For one thing I can push it out of the way up in my task bar. I don't live in Slack and only use it occasionally, so it's nice to have it close by but not in my face. Also, the ability to quickly alt-tab to/from it makes it much more accessible for me. I tried to use the browser version and it works well enough, but it broke my workflow and was distracting. The app has its own set of problems but at least it lets me work the way I want.
