Despite seemingly similar features, companies frequently use both. Team’s growth has not slowed or taken Slack’s customers from what I see. It seems they both attempt to solve different use cases. I might be wrong.

Slack’s Pros: I love the **editable**, text-rich messaging composing feature. I wish Whatsapp and other apps would allow that especially with autocorrect changing my typos to weird things.
Slack has a fantastic search functionality including threads that allows tracking your relevant messages, files, docs, attachments and ignore irrelevant ones; pinning relevant messages; smart use of emoji to communicate with a lot less text (:done: or eyes-looking, JIRA, on a code review request means not everyone else needs to read the thread inside) or you can do the opposite: start your message with a giant red emoji when you need to get peoples attention; great notification options (channel-specific).
Cons: the UI is very crowded. Also, when you subscribe to many channels you’ll experience the same “bulk email/reply to all” problems. Particularly when people don’t know how to use the @here and @channel.
Looks like teams will outshine slack in the long run.
