I’m certain no one at Atlassian wants to stifle Trello. Trello is Atlassian’s Instagram.

By the way did you see Trello is now part of Bitbucket as a default?

What exactly was HipChat competing with in the Atlassian portfolio when it was acquired? Nothing. HipChat was three people when it was acquired. It was over 100 not long after. That space grew so fast that you could argue maybe Atlassian should have put 200 on it. Regardless, it got the biggest investment of any group chat tool in the game at that time. Slack did an amazing job in the viral growth front. Credit to them. Atlassian is beefing up HipChat for enterprise/BTF and launched Stride for everyone with an email address and a need for something more focused than slack.
