Well, Slack has per-channel notification settings, and HipChat does not. So with HipChat I have to choose between more notification spam, insufficient notifications, or not being in as many channels as I'd like. I'm starting to forget what it is I preferred about the github integration in slack as opposed to HipChat...it's been awhile now. But there are also just so many URLs that do something useful in Slack but don't in HipChat (for example, rdio). Another annoying thing about the HipChat desktop client is modal dialogs where there shouldn't be. If somebody pings me in a room I'm not in, a modal pops up, which can be activated accidentally while I'm typing a message in another room, causing me to lose the notification, or get immediately (well, with annoying lag) sent to the channel that pinged me, interrupting the message I was typing and destroying my flow.
