Yes, we switched over to Slack from IRC/Google+ at elementary (elementaryos.org) in the early summer. It's been a massive improvement. We're starting to feel the limitations of the free tier though, so we do wish it were a lot cheaper.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoCould you enumerate the particular pains you had with IRC that were eased by switching to Slack?
- sejje 12y agoI can't speak for him, however as a programmer speaking to other programmers, I find Slack is pretty nice primarily for these reasons: Pasting code snippets, preserving formatting and getting syntax highlighting. Pasting screenshots, usually of code, error logs, or graphical bugs. Inlining code with `def func_name()` or whatever, making things much more legible. Easily sending files. Basically all code manipulation at their root. For actual normal communication, IRC works just as well for me.
