Yeah, there isn't enough low contrast text and excessive white space.

Did you actually look at them? The Lounge looks like a less image-heavy Slack. It's definitely following most modern design trends like flat UIs.

At the very least it looks and feels far more modern than, for instance, mIRC.

I just played with The Lounge a bit and it actually looks really nice.
