I really think that Slack's best quality is as an email killer. I get close to zero emails from within my company. It's kind of shocking how much more productive that makes me.
This is true. I have an email account that gets effectively zero email (other than Slack notifications). Don't know if this makes me more productive - IM seems like more of an interruption than email, but it's definitely interesting.
That's the main benefit for us as well. I compare inboxes with friends who don't use Slack at their company and its a stark difference. They'll have tons of giant chain emails about pointless stuff.
