Does anyone actually like Slack threads? They just don't fit my brain at all.

@cleverdevil nope. I find that slack solves 0 problems, and creates even more.

@Burk Slack itself is a useful tool for me, but the threads feature is just so weird.

@cleverdevil I use them only occasionally. No one else I know does.

@ddykstal @cleverdevil I love threads, especially on what are meant to be "announcement" channels. Keeps the noise down. I had to use them repeatedly until everyone else slowly came around.

@cleverdevil dislike them so much, they hide too much conversation and data. I prefer Flowdock's model of threading colors.

@jack @cleverdevil I think you're right about repetition. Folks need to see how they are useful.

@cleverdevil I can never figure out when something should be a thread versus in the main channel. So no, they suck.

@canion I feel the same way. The use case just isn't there for me.
