I'm sure the app has to be able to deal with all that, and that unmistakably adds a layer of complexity which ought to exhibit _somewhere_.

On the other hand, when using the Slack app as a simple chat app - formatted text only, a few formatted in-line code snippets, things like that.. the experience can often be abysmal.

Just the other day, I was typing a _text_ message in a private chat, text only - no images, no fancy stuff other than a few bold and italics and inline code tags, and I could visibly measure the delay between typing and the text appearing on the screen.

That should never happen, regardless of whichever other fancy features the app _might_ be able to do.

Never.
