The problem with Slack is that once something has scrolled off the top of the browser window it is very inconvenient to refer to. Sure, you can always scroll back to look at it, but if you want to reply to something somebody said three screenfuls ago it is a hassle to re-establish the proper context.

Some of the open-source Slack competitors (such as Mattermost or Rocketchat) actually do this better, at least to a certain degree.
