Consistent experiences I totally agree that's much better than it was and I only have admiration and appreciate all hard work that is put into it. But you have to admit each vendor has their own interpretation of how those features are implemented and do cause issues.

Every browser has had instances of borked implementations of standards because ultimately humans write the code. But choosing one browser while neglecting others because it involves work to build a consistent solution blocks out users which I'm not in agreement with.

I can sympathize with them as I went through the same and it wasn't great. I'm pretty sure that's more of a business decision than developers choice. Most likely electron is their favourite while web is the neglected child.

I've heard too many times that "we're focusing on Chrome because it's the dominant browser and we'll get to the other ones when we can." or "Edge doesn't work on Mac so we don't test it."

I've know them and they're definitely very talented & not lazy. They have a small team with a specific direction which I wish was broader in scope.

There are a variety of opinions within Slack :) I don’t believe we should let Slack run in the browser *at all*. It’s a significantly worse experience, limits functionality in critical ways, and increases complexity of development which makes everything slower.

We eventually do figure it out. Sadly, it may take generations or a lot longer before we do. "We'll eat our own dog food" turned into "Let customers eat our dog food" in my career's time. Much like in music "We'll fix it in the mix!" It's human. I think impulsive and unwise, too.
