Yea except I'm neither of these people but good job on the strawman arguments.
Slack is nicer than IRC to use. Nobody here is debating that. Slack solves a heap of problems with IRC.
My only point of contention is that there is zero argument for it using the resources it does. None of the mentioned solutions require any more resources than IRC consumes.
We just have a big heaping pile of electron nobody wants to acknowledge as the source of the problem.
