There are a couple of things that bug me about slack. One is that if you're in a no-cell zone (happens very often around here), slack will not retry the send. Kind of a pisser, as we're typically passing in and out of cell zones. Plain old Android Messages will rerty and often get it through on the next pass through a positive reception area.
The other thing is that sometimes someone will reply in a "thread", and those messages are not flagged in a way that gets my attention. There's a checkbox to return replies to the group thread, but jeeze.

We use slack for much more than just a messaging platform. We built bots for integrating with everything and pushing notices to channels. Couple of examples:
- On DDOS attacks, notices get pushed to our NetOps channel when it hits and stops.- We have a solarbot that queries our solar sites and reports on all the voltages from one command.- We have a “promos” bot that sales folks can ask for “what’s the current promos?"
- Push notices from ticketing, phone system, etc- Config changes from routers/switches- DFS hits from radios get sent automatically to the channel.
I suppose on a lot of these we could do it via email alone (we do both on some of these push notices), but interacting with slackbots are a little easier to get what we need, and then having links to internal sites if we want to click for more info.

It is kind of neat the Gmail app has the chat/rooms built into it. Notifications were of course broken out of the box but in time that really should get resolved for new phones (I fixed it after our company migrated to it last week).

I'm seeing the new Google Chat and Slack suck for me.
I was perfectly happy with Hangouts - that was as perfect as I can expect.

For me that was a deal killer.
