I personally don't care about those features, but somebody else does and they want to do it in a single interface without mucking with CLI and that's the point. No client does those things and that's what Slack shakes their moneymaker with. Nobody implements MD for the IRC chatroom. But that is the entire point I'm getting at, nobody else adds grep to inline logging. And your indexing and searching is only as good as your client implements which is shit for pretty much every client unless you export your log and then grep it. IRC is really great at chatting, but it completely blows at everything that I just mentioned. It's a shitty product for the things that it does because it attempts to try all that shit and isn't really good at any particular one.
Also your 90% is just wrong anyway.Īnd I want you to all understand, I really fucking hate Slack.
There does indeed come a point when something adds enough to something that it is indeed a different thing altogether. Slack puts all of that in a single client and adds on top of the usual protocol to support all that shit.
Now you might sit there and say, oh yeah well that's doable with IRC client ABC or you just need to use service ABC with client EFG to get all that.
Slack client delphi code#
Central document storage, indexed/searchable history with regex, pinning important messages in a separate area (no channel message is not the same), channel as a RSS feed, an actual decent command syntax, unread summary, markdown in channel, code pasting, the concept of groups (outside of the usual IRC channel/user), actual voting support, allowing said votes to be easily indexed so when you need to get the opinion of someone who dissented you can actually find that person, push notifications, channel reminders, and so on. Here's a list of them in no particular order. Slack has IRC features like channels but IRC is missing a shit ton of the features that Slack has and it'd be great if IRC servers actually implemented them. I fucking hate Slack but I hate this fucking wrong ass summary more. Slack took 90% of its feature set from IRC Even though the reality is it's principally a voice and video calling service." Ultimately, Butterfield thinks Microsoft is trying to force the Teams comparison because "Microsoft benefits from the narrative that Teams is very competitive with Slack. Microsoft has been moving businesses from Skype for Business to Teams, which traditionally focused on voice and video calling. Slack obviously has its own voice and video calling features, but it's not the primary focus of the app, and often, businesses integrate Zoom or Cisco's WebEx instead. In an interview with The Verge, Butterfield has revealed that, inside Slack, the company feels that " Microsoft is perhaps unhealthily preoccupied with killing us, and Teams is the vehicle to do that." From a report: Butterfield expands on why he thinks Microsoft is "unhealthily preoccupied" with Slack and compares Teams to more of a competitor to Zoom. Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield claimed earlier this month that Microsoft Teams isn't a competitor to Slack.
