  At my last startup in SF, when slack was really starting to takeoff, most of the business/marketing folks who spent the bulk of their time chatting and sharing memes on slack loved it. They simply didn't know any better, and were enamored with the new level of internal communication vs. previous jobs. Man it was such a time sink. Between the open office floorplan and slack this was the least productive environment I'd ever seen for an engineering company, and it's largely caused me to walk away from the industry.

  We use it in our company and I really like it. It's opened up a lot of workflows and data streams that either wouldn't exist or would go ignored. However, it might be relevant data that I am the boss and chose it ;-)

  I don't think "like" is the word I would use. I don't "like" or "dislike" my power drill, but it is more efficient than a screwdriver or hand drill, it gets the job done, and it rarely leaves me wanting for something bigger or with more features. By the same token, Slack fulfills a need and does so adequately; its features are enough to do interoffice communication without having to fall back on email or texting. I'm sure there are better tools out there, and Slack is definitely slower on our Core i3 based workstations compared to our beefier machines, but we don't "like" or "dislike" it.
