Then again, the Slack app segfaulted on launch for months because of a node.js incompatibility with newer glibc. So I guess what you've traded for is

- Nobody bothers to be testing against multiple operating systems in 2019.

- Everybody gets to wait for Slack to get around to it while the system webview gets the compatibility update almost immediately.

Great for the authors, shit for the users. On the bright side, it was the straw that broke the camel's back, and my org doesn't pay Slack any more.

Nice. What did you switch to? I'm watching that space so i can recommend alternatives everywhere I work. Must be F/OSS. Top of the list currently are Rocket.chat and Matrix.

We switched to IRC. Most of the team uses irccloud, and a handful of us use pidgin or hexchat or the like.

Try mattermost

Nah, definitely not Mattermost. It's open core, which is kind of dubious, and not better than Rocket.chat - we switched away from it to Rocket.chat at a previous job.
