On the plus side, maybe in a future update they'll make it so that we can do ```somelanguage and the box will have JS active with syntax highlighting and tab indentation appropriate for <language>. Slack's thing hasn't seemed that bad to me. It's true I've deleted a few stray back ticks, but it's so easy to edit mistakes it's not that big a deal. Especially if you use both Jira and Slack, the absolute shitness of Jira's issue text entry UI is a different order of magnitude and Slack's input box seems fine.
