The user experience of Slack as a desktop app is not great. The UI is consistently one of the highest energy users on my machine, despite being one of the worst performing (have you ever tried scrolling up into a conversation's history?)

Scrolling up involves network calls, so clearly it's going to be slower. Energy usage is definitely an area of improvement.
