There’s an irony in how Slack’s original goal was to replace work email and now everybody hates Slack as much as they used to hate work email.

Mission accomplished?

We voluntarily replaced open protocol with myriad of clients with a proprietary protocol with single client, allowing it to be as bad as they want

@nikitonsky I don’t get the hate tbh - the client is massively rewritten and is quite snappy, huddles are amazing, video clips are best ever - apart from when I do want sometimes more than 5 mins vids - mobile app is great too. Is it less about the tool and more about how you are (forced to) use it?

@nikitonsky what’s wrong with Slack, in your opinion?

@okneretsen Slow UI, lack of third-party clients, unreasonable pricing for communities/lack of archive, terrible notifications, bad thread UI, bad deep linking support.

And that’s from a person who barely uses it :)

@nikitonsky I like it slightly better than email because email is super spammy.
