I think the success of Slack is that it's so easy to set up a team. It feels like Trello: you are up and running in a minute. As a freelancer I got a list of Slack teams and it is just very easy to switch.

But like you said: that's about it. It is slow, the text input box is horrible and most of the time you loose track of conversations.

What I lately notice is that teams start to use WhatsApp groups as Slack replacement. To me that shows that Slack is just a messenger.

Using WhatsApp groups for me is terrible since it means all my private and business stuff lands in the same app. Slack has neat features like tracking time zones and auto silencing. In WhatsApp im left with the option to completely mute. Terrible
