I've went from two companies with an email culture to companies with a slack culture and have to say I absolutely hate slack. What's everyone's opinion on this?

IMO email is a great way to track key information & keep conversations on track. Slack should be for small questions or the one off fun channels.

I personally find slack much easier for keeping track of 1-1 conversation history. If (if!) people use threading, emojis, etc properly it also really tidies up group conversations compared to email (e.g no entire email for “Works for me!”). But I do agree that email is often much better for more detailed or important messages.

Our company has recently switched to Slack as well, at first I was apprehensive, but it has been very efficient for 1:1 conversations and quick status updates. For larger, more important updates we use Craft and email.
