I can't believe people are falling for this anti-email propaganda. Comparing proprietary messaging systems to email is like comparing coke to water. Coke tastes yummy but lets be honest, its has no redeeming value apart from short-term satisfaction of a sugary drink. These proprietary messaging systems are no different. Email is an open platform owned and ran by nobody. After decades of tech start-ups coming and going its one of the very few things we have been left with that has provided actual value to society. Reading this is like listening to the CEO of Red Bull tell me to drink less water. Yeah, maybe I would be more productive if I drank Red Bull instead or water but gawdamn, without water we would all die.
