I don't want to disrupt Slack, I posed the question to the community to start an intelligent debate around how they might be disrupted in the future.

I disagree that you can't compete with a well run team at the peak of their abilities, this is a free market, you can compete with whoever you like. Slack is successful because they solved an internal pain point, read about their history http://www.techvibes.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-slack-2015-...

Of course you can compete against a well run team, but why would you ever want to do that when you can instead compete against a crappy team that is in the toilet, steal all their customers, and so on?
