Again, Slack (owned by Salesforce) is changing its look and feel. But this time users aren't allowed to stick with what's familiar and works just fine.
Software companies do this routinely.
It's as if the furniture dealer had the right to come into your home and rearrange everything -- but you weren't allowed to put things back where you liked them.
It's simple corporate arrogance, and the software business is absolutely brimming with it.
