HipChat is now free for unlimited users

Slack's blue "unread messages" banner should be a deal-breaker. I feel like I spend 10% of my day clicking around on Slack trying to get all the channels to realize I have read all their messages. It's such an insane usability nightmare that I can't believe any person or team seriously building a chat app would implement it.

I asked Slack and they told me how to fix it:

Escape closes the blue banner for the current channel.

Shift-Escape closes that blue banner for all channels.

Yeah, that was their response to my ticket as well. Shift-Escape saves some time, but it's still a useless feature that provides nothing but annoyance.
