-To connect with peers through direct messages.
-To discuss ib channels.
-To reply in the thread.
-To discuss in a quick huddle.
-Chat with peers through direct messages.
-To discuss in quick huddle.

In slack, we have the option to create and discuss in various channels very easily.
UI looks clean from the user's perspective.
UX is also good considering the feature it possesses.
Replying to various threads is very easy.
The search option for searching through keywords throughout direct messages and channels is a great feature.
