If you want both, there is Slack ;) Why separate your communication into two tools instead of one?
Because one is a free and open standard where you actually own your data.

It seems it stagnated. There wasn’t a real competitor to it until Slack turned up and developed a fantastic integration ecosystem (I don’t think there would be such a focus on conversational UI were it not for Slack, whether or not they intended that). By that time it was already too late, HipChat is old school, Slack is the new hotness. Anecdotally, anyone working in a startup with an opinion on design will know how…
Yeah, no kidding. My last company was up in arms to replace HipChat with Slack even though they were 99% identical. There hasn't been a significant innovation in chat technology in like 30 years yet the business sector is more frothy than ever.

To be fair, Hipchat is missing a lot of features that Slack has.
biggest gripe with Atlassian is all their products are slow as hell. Hipchat was sluggish and buggy but at least they were steadily improving. Now everyone has to start over on a new platform (?) Confluence, how freakin long does it take to return a static info page, Seconds? As if visiting the HR subdomain wasn't painful enough already. Heaven forbid you click on something makes a POST request in JIRA, RIP developer…

Any sources on that? I'm pretty sure it's a heavy re-architecting at the very least, but if it's the same team and lead, have they gone entirely from scratch or repurposed some of Hipchat's code? (just questioning) Not curious enough to do the kind of blackbox exploration folks at https://webrtchacks.com or other sites do :)
I believe I am a pretty good source. :) Stride is a brand new product (not a rebrand of Hipchat), we did not repurpose Hipchat's code. It's built from ground up on Atlassian platform - new protocol, clients, platform, etc. One exception is the video bridge technology which remains powered by the Jitsi.org open source product (which we acquired in 2015). I do look after both products (Hipchat Cloud and Stride) for Atl…

The primary function of Atlassian software is to say "Access denied." You tell Greg he needs to give you permission to do whatever. Greg says he'll do that after he gets your self-assessment. He later writes on your self-assessment receipt that you're a whiner lacking self-motivation. I've used Confluence for two years. It's slow and the editor is buggy. The primary function is to prevent me from making a document pu…
Wait, people actually read jira emails? I just filter it to my 'ham' folder.

Joke's on them, we're still using Stash at my employer!
I rather like Stash. It has nice integration with Jira, and works fine.
The more recent offering (Bitbucket Server) falls behind the curve as well, even when compared to their own Bitbucket Cloud service.
Sad thing is there isn’t even baseline feature parity. Not sure what’s going to happen when they give my org a date to move by. Without some of the more enterprisey features, we can’t move to Stride. Oh and the FU on all of our existing integration use is cute. They should have released it as a UI improvement for HipChat, not a whole new ecosystem.
I certainly didn't appreciate it. As someone who invests significant portions of time building integrations between various systems in our development team, I quickly hit the brakes the second I heard the Stride announcement.
Since our organization is being forced to move from HipChat, we're reviewing alternatives rather than blindly continuing onward toward Stride.
I strongly doubt that this will have any impact on Atlassian's bottom-line, however.
