Slack is not just reinvented IRC, just as Dropbox is not just reinvented rsync and Docker is not just reinvented cgroups.
If the basic tech behind those products met the needs of business users by itself, these companies would never have succeeded.
It's not about just the technology. It's about wrapping that technology in a good user experience for end users and an easy management experience for business customers. That is really difficult, and Slack deserves credit for doing it so well.
