Do people really enjoy slack? We're forced to use it, but if I had a choice I would not. It's similar to FB, everyone is on it so you have to use it but its not good software.
- jdm2212 6y ago> It's similar to FB, everyone is on it so you have to use it FWIW, that's the article's thesis. For my part, I've never used a chat or company communication tool that was better than Slack. Not saying it's good or that I "enjoy" it. But it's the least bad option available AFAIK.
- buzzert 6y agoThis was my reaction too. Slack doesn’t have many fans at my job either, but that (rather childish) newspaper ad that Slack wrote suggests their users “love” it and would never switch to anything else. Both Teams and Slack are slow chat apps that run in the browser. One uses AWS and the other uses Azure. I’m not surprised there aren’t 100 alternatives at this point.
- LukeEF 6y agoAgree strongly with this sentiment. I always found it very clunky and hard to use. We migrated to Discord for our recently remote office. So much better. Chat is better. Voice rooms are great. Visibility is great. Granted, we are a small shop, so unclear how it will scale, but big step up so far.
