And before Slack, HipChat was quite good.

Before HipChat was Skype-for-Business...uh... Lync... uh... Office Communications Server... uh... Exchange Server Instant Messaging (using Windows XP’s Windows Messenger) back in 2001!

I used the Hipchat web client for a year. It worked perfectly.

I heard from others that the native app didn't.

I had a chance to talk to one of the Hipchat PMs. Atlassian didn't seem too attached to operating it for some reason.
