My experience with group messaging was MSN Messenger -> Basecamp -> Campfire -> HipChat -> Slack.
Slack's "good enough" for most communication and has better integration with most products, so it stuck. Others always failed in some way.
It's not that Slack is irreplaceable, if anything it's more vulnerable than ever, but that it has momentum. Other platforms like Campfire or HipChat always fell short of expectations.
