Now that’s done, please delete the drafts section, so messages stay in one place?

Yes. This please. I so so SO hate the drafts section. Regularly I have DM conversations with people and might have typed out half a message when I need to respond to another channel/DM. But when I go back to the first conversation... it's gone. Because instead of being at the bottom of my list where I expect to see it (like I do the other 99.99999% of the time)... it's up at the top. Don't. Move. Around. The. UI.

  Or, if they want to keep the drafts section... Duplicate the channel, don't move it. That way you get the best of both worlds

    Or simply provide a preference setting. Sure, if you like it go for it. But I don't, let me turn it off.

    This is the key. I don't think most people would care about the drafts section if it appeared and disappeared without disrupting the normal way of doing things!

  I suggest getting used to switching around using Ctrl-K instead of using the mouse. If you only have one "draft", just pushing Ctrl-K, Enter will take you back to it. If there's more than one, you might need to type a couple of letters before pushing Enter.

My main two feature requests would be: - Add a way to mute notifications from an individual user - Add a way to organize threads by topic For the first one, I believe they've said they will never implement it. For the second one, I'm holding out that someone will realize how crappy the threading implementation is, but I don't have much hope.

  Oh man, completely muting a user would be amazing.

    Unfortunately I believe they've said "since this is a product for professional workplaces we don't see a need for this feature".

      Professional workspaces always contain chatty people…

        And how exactly do you explain that you didn’t get the important ping of something being broken because you muted the person? Seems like a lot more problems than just telling the person to be less chatty in important channels.

        Important alerts should be automated from some software, not from the coworker that thinks every shower-thought is good #random material.

I really wish they would let you turn off the whole "show other users' typing activity" thing, so that people don't hold back their replies if they see someone else replying. I'd turn it off for our whole org if I could because I'd rather the conversation happen quickly than...well I'm not sure what their goal is. It's like they're taking a page from Apple's anti-user/anti-choice playbook for iOS Messages by not giving you a painfully obvious option at all, at any level.
