Clearly not enough money for that IRC bridge...
It's deceitful, but its standard operating procedure for SaaS and we've seen it before with Twitter.
I wouldn't be surprised if IMAP is deprecated from GMail in a few years.

That's a crazy evaluation, is that company really worth 7.1Instagrams? It really is a nice product, but it feels like a 'First-To-Market' success story. Especially since it's built on top of electron, which I'm still trying to accept as a real platform for application development, and not the '3d printer' of the software world.

Very unlikely , I'm not aware of Slack being an Innovation Driven company. I've seen nothing from them in the Open Source World.
