I am fairly indifferent to Slack - I have to use it for work.

But our experiences seem so vastly different: - UI is, with the exception of large media, snappy and pretty native feeling - no jumps (that I can recall)

The mobile app is okayish though its offline indication and notifications are a bit frustrating.

What machine are you running it on?

Not sure if it might be related to specific instances, i.e. large organizations with hundreds of channels, etc like in my case... still, my workstation is pretty beefy, threadripper pro 7985wx, 256GB RAM, RTX 4080 (and this is no software issue, as other, much more resource intensive apps run just fine)... though slack is unmistakably sluggish, to the point of me being frustrated enough with it to complain about it here :)

just hate it.

Yeah I mean - that machine isn't going to struggle with much!

I'm on an M1 Mac and it's pretty smooth. Of course, maybe I just have terribly low standards.
