Yep. I work totally remotely and Slack felt fundamentally different to email: my extensive DM's with coworkers felt very analogous to physical contact.
Sometimes, if you're working in an office, you just want to lean back in your chair and whisper to your coworker "what a fuckin awful meeting, what was [boss] thinkin?". And as a full-time remote worker, Slack was the only place for that. I feel this will make 100% remote a lot tougher and more isolating because the life-line that was private contact has been severed.
