For being the business chat darling, Slack is just not that great at being an amazing chat platform.

I'm comparing to WhatsApp, because in my org that's what everyone defaults to, as the basic chat functionality in Slack is a subpar experience: * No delivery notices, even in private chat * Can't upload multiple attachments/images in one go, but instead defaults to N single uploads * No option not to download large images * Logs in slow, needs to be "connected" and thus struggles to send messages on intermittent connections

Maybe the HipChat infusion of people with a different viewpoint will help?
