I wish slack would concentrate on making the app more productive for teams to work together remotely. We can type fast enough, in fact, hackernews tells me I'm typing too fast.

The problem is organizing and collecting the information and ensuring it is useful later, rather than just during the 5 minutes. Let users break a chat message out into a threaded discussion for example. We already have plenty of voice and video chat options, we can just pick up a phone. Those things are ephemeral. Text is forever. Let's keep more of that so we can use it to further the business objectives.
