I hate it, for several reasons (some of it could be user error or local configuration, but still):

- For a long time, the status of other users it showed was completely off. Like showing people online when they weren't. Also, sending messages sometimes mysteriously failed.

- Cannot copy conversation as text (formatting is messed up). Cannot save it as text without removing smileys.

- Cannot paste text verbatim into conversation without making silly smileys everywhere.

- There is a (relatively small) limit on how much text you could paste in.

- Couldn't transfer certain files (like .js or .exe).

Many of these things make sense for things like unmoderated chat, but I need to work, and sometimes exchange larger amounts of text and binary data.

I'd add: completely unreliable conversation history. I never figured out why it saved some messages but not others.

Basically why I loved it when we started using Slack.

You are so right haha. I guess working at a bigco has trained me on it and also because of the (relatively) "pretty" UI. Ive used Slack for side projects and its definitely a lot smoother/modern.
