I never got the Slack app because I figured it was literally a wrapper. Downloading now.
The last time I used the Windows client it was noticeably different. But that was over a year ago. I have never been a big Slack user.

Looks like a wrapper. It's pixel identical to the web page. No features or anything different from what I can tell.

So if it used to not be a wrapper, maybe Slack is cloning Rocket.Chat now rather than the other way around.

@JaredBusch I use OWA because I switch back and forth between my Windows Desktop at my home office, and my Macbook while I am in the office, and traveling. While I could run Outlook on both the Windows box, and run Outlook on the Mac side, I think the Mac Outlook version sucks. So, I use OWA.

I find OWA more mobile as well, but Outlook does handle moving between devices pretty easily.

Yes, it does. On the Linux side, would you use a local mail client, or still stick with OWA?
If a native mail client, which one?

I use OWA. I tried Nylas, but something about my O365 account made it sluggish when it isn't with my other email. I don't use Exchange for my primary email, so OWA is fine. It's not Zimbra, that's kicking its butt in usability, but it is okay.
It's nice to have moved back to something better than Exchange. I forgot how much I preferred it.

They both use Electron to provide their "desktop clients".

I knew that Rocket did. So Slack copied that from them?

Don't really know, I know they were using Electron for the windows app almost since the beginning and just last year change the mac version from MacGap to Electron as well.
