In fact, Slack's success was precisely because it was a very well understood type of product (group chat).

Everyone shrugged and said "Yeah I need that" and it looked/felt better than Hipchat.

I switched to it from a private IRC setup. It was the same but with modern addons like integrations

Definitely not a new category, I very near share a date of birth with IRC. Even before that you had BBSs
