I see Slack & Email under the same category of \"communication tools\"\r\n\r\ntools are very important to successful workflows, and looking at the history of Open Source, the evolution of communication tools, started with (and continues to date) with Email, then that evolved into Open Email Groups (which many communities still rely on) then IRC took over as a preferred communication channel.\r\n\r\neach remained as a tool that solved different problems:\r\n\r\n- IRC: real time, quick messaging, for communities on the same timezone, no history\r\n- Email: long form messaging, asynchronous, closed to the cc-list, logged history\r\n- Email Groups: open to public, anybody can join, conversations spanning technical as well as social, logged conversations\r\n\r\nnew tools such as Slack, Gitter, etc ... are taking the best of each of those worlds, and solving problems that were still hard to deal with, for example sharing code snippets for collaborating on a code problem was ugly in email, and impossible in IRC, hence services like pastebin and others surfaced.\r\n\r\nI don't know if email will go away, but Slack / others still don't serve for long form information sharing, for anything more than two paragraphs, Slack and others end up being more disruptive than useful, and the conversation gets lost into the history, and not immediately visible."}}
