If you honestly think that Dropbox is just glorified FTP, or Slack is just IRC with pictures, or Spotify is JUST bittorrent (or Napster even), I question if you've ever actually used any of those services. They provide so much more than the alternatives you listed.

The Dropbox and Spotify examples are ridiculous. They offer a lot more and a lot more usability than the comparison.

But Slack basically is just IRC with pictures right? What extra value does slack give me other than a decent web client?
