So... it's just chat. With some integrations. I already stated this:
> They all offer various abilities above just chat messaging like APIs and integrations to get notified about various other things all in the same place.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Just because the integrations present the data to the user in a chat interface does not make it "just chat."
It's OK though. I know you're just being obtuse.

How is that not chat? You didn't have this ability before (although more manual)? What is so utterly amazing about this?
And no it doesn't bring "all the information" together, there's still plenty happening outside of it.
Enjoy using it but we don't need all the abstract hyperbole.
No, it is not "just chat." Chat is just one function. Slack basically brings ALL of the information that is relevant to your team in one place. It has out-of-the-box integrations with a TON of services, and all the data they are sending to your team's Slack feed can then be search on, which provides massive productivity advantages.
