> no matter what OS you're on the desktop client is probably crappier than loading up the webpage

I don't see how it could ever be worse than the webpage. And it gives you nice perks like notification badge integration, which for me personally is essential.

My web browser has windows and tabs and lets me open Slack in multiple places if I want to see more than one view of Slack at the same time.

I usually don't need to do that, but when I do it's annoying that the desktop client prevents it.

It's fine that my phone doesn't let me open two text conversations at once since that's all the space it has, but on a computer with a 24+ inch screen and multiple virtual desktop spaces with different sets of tasks, it's a pointless limitation.
