I would consider you fairly fortunate if slack is the worst piece of software you use.

agreed - it's a massive cpu hog for a basic chat client... it excels primarily at turning my macbook into a toaster

I only use the web version. The native version is a resource hog (or was, when I last tried to use it).

The network connection quality on Slack calls seems to be very lacking compared to other call apps.

This one burns. Slack is excellent in so many ways, but it really wants to become a noise machine that drowns you in alerts and simultaneous demands for your attention.

How is it possible that I have to spend perceptible amounts of time to search/view logs? I didn't ever have this problem in the 90's or 00's.

There are a couple issues I have with slack. Threads and message editing.

I second this
