I disagree. Slack is not just about chat, they are about communication. We moved from Skype to Slack and it was incredibly different for us.

Open channels meant - more transparency and anyone can join and contribute. All those hella bots are extremely handy.

Overall, i would say we became more transparent, focussed and it made communication across a single company SIMPLE.

You just unironically argued that chat applications are not about communication, while Slack is. This makes no sense, as chatting is communication.

I've heard it described as having IRC channels with skype capabilities

I'd be interested to know the stats on people using the video feature. My experience is that companies on slack primarily trust Hangouts and Zoom more than Slack for video conference.
