Whats the main differentiator between this and traditional threads in a service like slack?

I think the differentiator is two-fold.

1. Threads aren't secondary. There's no secondary window, and threads don't get lost in the amalgamation of main window messages. All threads are presented equally, which brings me to...

2. It's visual. You see the entire graph -- how the conversation flows -- and you directly interact with the chat canvas.
