A two-person startup already uses twenty-eight other tools

Or you can set up email notifications and do the exact same thing in any mail client, like people have been doing for ages.

But that's not cool any more I guess.

I think you underestimate how pervasive and usable Slack is over email.

Email is still fine and necessary but is mostly for long form asynchronous communication. Organizing email inboxes is a pain. Spam is a pain.

Slack is pre-organized and automatically integrated with a dozen other tools. It’s the beating heart of a distributed organization.

nothing to do with "cool". I could never go back to email after using slack-like software. It's so much more efficient.

That is debatable. For sending IMs, sure. For a lot of other stuff it's pretty noisy and even with search is still less organisable than email.

It's debatable which is why the snark of "guess email isn't cool anymore :(" is such tired commentary, suggesting everyone is just an idiot lemming for not having email enlightenment.
