I don't mean it in a disparaging way. Most software sucks to some degree so the goal is to find something that "sucks less". Pretty much everything can always be improved on.

"more pleasant to use and less buggy."

Borrowing from Lin Manuel-Miranda's Thomas Jefferson:

It's a nicer way to convey the same idea, without triggering a combative emotional response in reaaders.

If saying slack sucks "trigger[s] a combative emotional response in reaaders," I don't think it's the speaker that needs to re-evaluate their choices in life.
