Don’t use Slack? | Christian Heilmann

I have been sitting on this for a long time, and now I want to say it: open and accessible doesn’t beat usable and intelligent . It is something we really have to get past in the open source and web world if we want what we do to stay relevant. I’m tired of crap interfaces being considered better because they are open. I’m tired of people slagging off great tools and functionality because they aren’t open. I don’t like iOS, as I don’t want to locked into an ecosystem. But damn, it is pretty and I see people being very effective with it. If you want to be relevant, you got to innovate and become better. And you have to keep inventing new ways to use old technology, not complain about the problems of the closed ones.
