I agree with that chat apps make me and my team more productive, and I work at a developer centric organization where we build analytics tools (and I'm also a developer). The reason I'm more productive?
Unfortunately, not everyone uses the command line. Not everyone is comfortable with it. Additionally, even if you are (like me and my team), it's not collaborative. If I run a query in my team's room, they can all see the results and we can easily discuss it. Did I mention on the go with Slack for my phone? Can't do that with CLI.
Slack also supports link embedding, images and more. All things not supported by CLI.
