Yup, the self-host is def a blocker for a lot of orgs. HipChat even has a self-host solution.

We're using Mattermost here and pretty happy with it, it's got missing areas but it does let you self-host pretty easily.

What are the biggest areas where Slack > Mattermost? It seems pretty complete? Does it also use an Electron-based Desktop application?

Mostly in integrations. Quite a few of the Mattermost ones are roll-your-own(albeit with Slack API-compat).
