Not to mention an incredibly heavy web-wrapper Mac app, a memory hog especially if you join multiple Slacks. I actually like using Slack, but this kills it for me. Wishing that a company whose core product is a chat client invested into building a great chat client.

Yes, code reuse, can iterate faster, saves engineering time, etc., but does this all matter if the user experience is sacrificed?

(Spotify, I'm also looking at you.)

I'm fine with them using a web view for the chat display (even Apple does that, IIRC), but the wrapper interface, and especially the text input fields, should be Cocoa. NSTableView isn't that hard.

slack web client is hot garbage -- it takes a 5-count to switch threads.
