> I did try both and picked HipChat (though I now have a few regrets). Slack's lack of native Windows client was a real bummer and, frankly, I found the Slack interface unnecessarily confusing. I think they need a "simple" mode or the ability to turn some features off by default.

I think its personal preference, but I can see that.

> That said, Slack's integration with 3rd party services like Github is just straight up better than HipChat. And after using it for a while there are a couple of small (fixable!) things about HipChat that are really irritating.

Agreed!

For sure, this is all just my opinion. Did they ever come out with a real Windows client, thought? That was an annoyance for me, I imagine it would be a dealbreaker for some enterprises.
