Strikes me as a poor future when we use proprietary protocols on other peoples' servers to facilitate all of our communications.

That's been the present for the majority of most people's lives. Even with email there wasn't much, if any, time where the majority of people ran their own servers.

As someone else mentioned, they are finally doing some more with their purchase of Screen Hero most likely.

However, one major feature that Screen Hero had that I don't _THINK_ this new screen sharing built in Slack has, is the ability for the other person to control the mouse/keyboard on your screen. I could be wrong, but if that is the case it's a huge feature missing. That was one of my favorite things that Screen Hero had, being able to click for the other person or type while they were screen sharing to help them out on a task, if needed. If it's not in there for this release, I hope it gets added soon.
