I really liked it immediately upon using it, that almost never happens to me. If you want a feature checklist I'm afraid I won't be reciting one. It's well designed in my opinion, I care about that a lot. Other productivity tools like JIRA and Jive are awful, I enjoy using Slack.

But if you're right, it's no good and there's no switching costs, then I guess they'll die. Right?

You're ascribing agenda to me that's not there -- and maybe conflating me with my GP poster. I'm asking an honest question. I don't dislike Slack and I'm open to there being something that they genuinely do really well, I just haven't noticed such a thing as a casual user.
