> I'm pretty sure they can hire some talented people, don't you?

Even the most talented construction workers could not build the Empire State Building in a week. It's a little silly to think that these people are like magicians.

Have you looked at Slack's competitors? Slack is arguably the best chat app out there, especially with their UX and the quality of their integrations. It's so presumptious to then tut-tut them suggesting that they "owe their customers better". They're doing very well!



I honestly think slack is a terrible product. IRC is better in every way if you take a few moments and institute logging. Just because they are doing well doesn't mean they are doing well to their customers. It is insanely overpriced, imo.


And a lot of people honestly think that IRC is terrible platform. And that slack is not "insanely overpriced".

Guess which opinion is more popular.

Now think again about this "doing well to their customers"
