I can't help but notice that slack is starting to get "enterprise" (threaded comments, this username thingy, ... ). They seem to be introducing a lot of complexity for all of the users, while only some of them would benefit from these new features. I'm hoping that they start realizing this, and keep simple chat the default, while allowing you to opt-in for all these "handy" features...

At least the client is lightweight, using hardly any memory, disk, or CPU.
I just about fell out of my chair just now from laughing. Thanks. Now people are staring at me.
Jokes are for Reddit, not HN.
If you think a comment is not constructive, off-topic or otherwise inappropriate flag it and don't reply [0].

I see no issue raising a genuine concern with Slack's desktop app, which is incredibly bloated – be it in a joke rather than a long-form comment.

Well, entreprise is what pays their bills so it seems normal to cater to that population.
