And yet no one sees enough value in Slack to pay for it. I type this on a mac, which has built in notes, but I pay for my own notes solution. My company uses Zoom DESPITE paying for gsuite. If Slack offered enough value people would pay for it. Unfortunately Slack's just not that good.

Employee of $5bn company that exclusively uses Slack, here.

I LOVE Slack. Great integrations, fast, solid apps, UX. it makes Teams look third rate by comparison.

We’ve nearly completely done away with email, thanks to Slack. Most of our suppliers use it, so we can chat live to them in Slack rather than email.
