My interpretation: Devs like the experience of interactive instant messaging without any hassle and simply equate Slack with that experience. Slack is really pervasive in our industry despite its subpar experience for developers. I largely agree with 72% of developers here, although I would gladly swap it out for something better. The notification scheme is good enough. I don’t like to be disturbed a lot, so I disable sound notifications, and just notice the red dot in the browser tab occasionally (which I promptly ignore if I don’t want to stop and read messages).
