That's you. My work emails receives 25-50 real human a day. I get less than that amount in SMS in an whole year on my work phone. Even my personal email is significantly more email than SMS. SMS is dying and replaced with messengers e.g. Teams, Signal, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger etc.

No u.

I understand if you are manager/owner you might be running comms via email. But internally all of that went to slack for good reason - lack of history is a feature, not a bug.

I am neither manager nor owner. Just another 1x engineer. 75% of my comms run over email. 25% over Jabber.

Not every software company uses Slack!

Well you are not op to begin with and admit running a chat app which is has 99% chance of having better UX than email.

Email is good for having common interface. In my case it's ~abused in 99% of cases.

Also - you do not mention how much non-comms emails do you receive. While chat apps are fucky in terms of lock-in, lack of interop and tons of other things, lack of spam is nice.
