What a disaster that would have been. The people that use Slack are much younger than the enterprise customers that Microsoft has. It would have been another failed acquisition.

Plus we used Slack and moved aggressively back to HipChat. I thought it was fine but there's no real difference between Slack and Hipchat.

Xbox & minecraft users are often much youger that Slack users and that acquisition worked well.

There's one big difference. You can host HipChat behind your firewall.

You can't edit messages older than 1 minute in HipChat, and even editing newer messages is painful. That fact, alone, makes me despise it.
