Simple consumer friendly products have a tendency to get more and more complicated as they try to expand their market into the enterprise. The question is not whether Slack is simple now, but whether it will still be simple in 3-5 years.
Of course, Slack already isn't that simple. The authentication model seems insane, and no one can ever explain it to me when I ask.
It's nice that me@gmail.com and me@corporate.com can be logged into different slacks in the same electron app, but why do I have different accounts/passwords for me@gmail.com for different slacks? It's all the pain of federation without any clear benefits.
