If I have a choice IRC. It lets me get my work done and ignore chat unless absolutely needed.

• It is extremely customizable
• Can choose preferred client or cli
• It has built-in communication protocol (i.e. ping/pong for back and forward or q&a)
• Filters messages to specific windows/buffers/logs

I have also used MS Teams, slack, and discord (yes other than for gaming). I think they're all pretty good. Thought, I'd rate slack the lowest only due to lack of native dark theme (don't feel like spending hours editing css every update.)

Slack is probably the most common tool because its popularity. Everybody knows it thus easier to integrate.
My favourite is Telegram, but it's not convenient for big teams.

Oh yes.. I suggest Discord but is not really for team working 😕

Discord is amazing, but it's not so popular among not gaming world :)

Over time, I’ve used several chat platforms, but Clariti stood out because it kept everything tied to context. Instead of random chat streams, conversations stayed linked with emails, documents, and tasks. This helped us avoid the “lost in chat history” problem. It also made follow-ups easier since the whole story was in one thread. For team chats, having that clarity saved us hours of back-and-forth.

We use RocketChat for our chat communication. So far it has remained my favorite.
