I guess I hit a nerve. FWIW I've been using Slack since 2014, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with it or have been shunning new technologies. I do like it for communities. I just don't like it for work.
If slack is only used during the work day then you would have the exact same application without the nice CI/file sharing and all the other bots slack has
How would you change the IM client??? Make it like slack. Just use slack.
"Slack for work mostly sucks." ... Whats your point? People use it after work hours?
Slack is not basically an alternative to IRC it IS an alternative, a better more feature rich one.
Slack has more features than IRC so slack sucks ... this typical tradition speak, fearful of new things. Many techies dont need slack but for those that have yet to take on the message app craze Slack is catalyzing a lot of new non techies.
