“Essential for dev teams. GitHub, CI, and alerting integrations make it the nervous system of any engineering org.”
“It's bloated and expensive at scale, but there's no real alternative that matches its ecosystem. Reluctant ship.”
“Canvas, clips, and huddles have made it more than just chat. Great for async creative collaboration.”
