I hate Slack. It started as a copycat of Yammer and didn't grow outside of that. It doesn't have native apps on the Desktop and although they've improved things a lot, it still not as good as it should be. Compare it to Spectrum, let's say, which builds up profiles and is affordable. Why I can't have a single profile, which I use across different companies? Why do I need to create tens of accounts? Don't they get what "identity" is? On top, they shot themselves in the feet not building identities as that opens the door go grow well beyond Yammer. What I don't get it why developers still choose it - it's code-pasting unfriendly, it converts your quotes and dashes - even in URLs. There's no syntax coloring, etc. Microsoft Teams is much better although it suffers from many the limitations of Slack - including the limitations in the vision. Slack is not a replacement of email either - it lacks basic features to be a replacement. In general, I don't think Slack will survive this as Teams appears to be winning.
