This sort of reminds me of the grumps who complain that the masses haven’t embraced Vim, RSS feeds, arch linux, fediverse, etc. Like it’s fine that you like them, but I’m surprised you’re surprised other people don’t quite get the appeal.

As someone who uses all those techs, what makes me more sad is when I can’t continue to use this tech because some other company force me to use their shitty software that isn’t interoperable in any way and I am forced to use it because of work/friends. However, I am aware enough to understand why others don’t get the appeal. At least with email I can pick my client and they can pick theirs which is more “user friendly”. Slack etc forces me to use workflows I hate.
