Excel is the tool used most widely by paying customer non-techies.
Excel also happens to be the software with the most arcane UI on Earth.
'Making sense' is not the issue here, motivation is.
And I don't think removing a power-user feature and replacing it with something half-baked will motivate your user base.
P.S. WhatsApp uses a markdown-like UI for formatting: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/26000002/ https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/26000002/
Somehow, its non-techie users aren't complaining.
- ako 7y agoInteresting , wasn’t aware of the markdown support in WhatsApp.
- Daedren 7y agoMost people I know don’t even know WhatsApp supports Markdown. That said, none of them are complaining because it’s a chat program. You don’t need heavy formatting in a chat program, it’s meant for short and fast messages, unlike email. As such, I don’t believe people will spend a lot of time formatting their input in Slack, unless they really are thinking people will replace their email with Slack.
