I guess this must be it. IRC could in theory do everything Slack does but setting up a server is a pain and shiny clients are rare...

I wonder about the rest of the competition, for a while everybody was using hipchat, I never used it myself, I wonder why nobody talks about it anymore.

There is competition out there, they just haven't made enough noise yet. See Fleep for example: https://fleep.io/, Rocket Chat etc.
