IMHO: Once Slack hits 50%, it must be on its way out. Slack is one of the most easily replaceable tech 'unicorns'. Your company could decide tomorrow to use one of the many competitors (or clones, since they all look just about the same) and the biggest downside for you would be having to resubscribe to channels. And that's if they don't build a migration tool for you. They're not even that great at what they do, they have regular downtime.

> Slack is one of the most easily replaceable tech 'unicorns'. Your company could decide tomorrow to use one of the many competitors (or clones, since they all look just about the same) and the biggest downside for you would be having to resubscribe to channels. As a tech community organiser, Slack's biggest appeal is that our members usually already have the desktop and mobile apps installed because of work, so it's relatively easy to onboard everyone by just asking them to add another workspace.
