I'm not sure I'd agree that "All Threads" not being a channel warrants the exact opposite navigational behaviour as a channel. An obvious user experience is one that I don't have to think about. If you've already been trained by Slack to expect different behaviour on different screens then of course you'll think they did it right, but I don't care to have to be trained on how to use software.

As for hard dates I don't know of any, but the article suggests "2 years" and I've seen StackOverflow posts from 2014 asking about threading so I'm sure it was at least on Slack's radar for that long.

The point of all of this however is that a) 2 years is far too long for an MVP rollout (if that's what this is) and that b) they simply added some lipstick onto existing substandard features.

Our personal preferences re: UX etc aren't even really all that relevant as we'll obviously never agree on that, but we can certainly agree that spending 2 years delivering a limited-use MVP for a giant company like Slack with almost unlimited manpower is pretty miserable.
