You assume that everyone is hiring six figure developers. If you are hiring part time staff, at a rate of one per week, this makes a lot more sense.
Also makes sense to approve expenses. Right now all that stuff happens in another app which sends me an email which launches a browser which asks me to login which shows me the same button.
I actively look for SaaS apps that have slack integration.
That's exactly why we developed Talkus (customer support 100% in slack).
We were fed up to spend our time to switch between Slack and the web app.
Every program grows until it support (or in this day and age, re-implements) email?

While I agree that Slack's value proposition is tangential/complimentary to e-mail, the more that comes out it sounds more and more like Slack want's to replace e-mail/reinvent business communications.
Oh, they absolutely do, no doubt about it. Same way Twitter wants to be more than a way to post short messages. In both cases, there's a inescapable tension between what it needs to be to be useful, and what it needs to be to be successful.
Classic HN commenting.

Sure, why not, i'll hire someone with a single click in Slack. And maybe then post a party parrot emoji. Crushing it!
Like any messaging app, Slack has value precisely because it segregates small, ephemeral messages from the large, persistent ones in my email. It lets me tap into a stream of what's going on right now without obstructions. Trying to shoehorn in these great wads of HTML which don't require immediate attention detracts from Slack's value, rather than enhancing it.
