Yeah they should definitely fix this. I don't think it's a very useful product without a good native client.

The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the HipChat client is (or at least was) mostly just a shim around a web browser with some notification stuff bolted on. This doesn't need to be a huge undertaking.

That is all the slack client is as well. You can right click to inspect all the ui elements.

Maybe it's changed since I last looked, but they didn't have a client at all. You could download Chrome and then install an "app" through the Chrome store. Well, some of my users prefer Firefox... I don't know, it just wasn't a great onboarding experience.

In retrospect, though, I might've gone too far the other way -- hipchat is pretty bare bones.
