Sadly, Slack is also missing a whole lot of IRC functionality - starting with a proper desktop client. The logging it provides is a joke, even when you actually pay for it. Its search capabilities are nowhere near grep(1).

This is again missing the point. Yes, the statement "Slack's search isn't as powerful as grep's" is true - but many of the prospective users of Slack (and, crucially - most of those who make the decisions about corporate IT) are incapable or unwilling to use grep _anyway_. You are judging a tool by how well it suits your needs, without realizing that you are not its only target audience.
