Email is not threaded! I have to always group emails to catch up on the conversation. Email is recent first and in order to read the older messages you have to read bottom up to catchup.

Tools are like a flowing river, they have a natural flow. Going against that flow is like swimming against a tide. Slack’s natural flow is urgency which is bad for focused work. Hence the need for threadli, which is essentially opensource Basecamp (Messages) or Twist really.

Maybe you got used to bad email clients :) email has always been threaded, as far as I remember... Then Outlook broke email and Gmail finally killed it. Now everyone tries to reinvent mutt, pine and Thunderbird :)
