So much hate for an app that has tried to replace (and done a damn good job) for really bad chat clients FOR BUSINESSES.

At least for Silicon valley, really we want to go back to AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Lynx, IRC (the latter is possible I guess).

For engineering sure we can do IRC...but really sales/marketing/HR? No.

Slack is not perfect...but they have done a pretty damn good job hitting 90% of most tech company needs.

(Omg there is even an API)...c'mon give em some "slack"
