The question you're not asking is whether your replacement is better than the existing solutions. Slack isn't. It's closed source, proprietary, and tied to a third party's servers. I'm not going to tie my projects or company to that kind of anchor.

Absolutely. I completely agree that Slack brings too many problems to the table to be a replacement for IRC+Mailing lists.

I'm just saying that IRC+Mailing lists aren't good enough.
