I am not the fan either, especially that even the "native" version is just a packaged web browser, and some features (like file upload) were broken when I tried. Unfortunately I do think it's a trend. Maybe someone who actually uses it could tell me why and also what makes it a 1B company?

Think of it less as "fancy IRC" and more of "tool that lets people have fewer face-to-face meetings just to catch up on what everyone is doing".
