They are great when done right, its a good way to queue up a tiny request for when someone gets to a logical break.

I agree searching history is mostly useless though, we have only ever used slack as a free service where it deletes the IMs, never missed them.

I wonder how many people share your opinion of searchable history, given that it’s the number one selling point for many people for slack over other IM systems. Or, at least it’s the one I hear most often.
