- jacobr1 5y agoIf all you want is messaging, use irc, matrix or an xmpp system. The real value of slack is all the integrations and ecosystem built on top of it. That is much harder to integrate with an arbitrary client. It could be done, they could publish "enriched messaging" standards or similar and breakout capabilities that clients could support, but just supporting vanilla messaging at this point would be a severe degradation of slack's capabilities.
