It says something about the current relationship of large corporate apps and users when Slack makes an update - of particular annoyance is that the search bar at the top basically eats the entire border now making it impossible to move the window around unless you make the window sufficiently large - and my immediate thought is “this must have been deliberate in order to make sure Slack takes up as much of my screen as possible.”
It’s hard for me to think of a legitimate reason for how massive that search bar is and why it is so damn close to all the edges at the top making the window virtually immovable unless you greatly expand it.
It’s just malicious design as usual.
Yeah, as soon as it auto-refreshed to the new design, I immediately hit the "Give feedback on the new design" link and expressed my displeasure to the void.
There is nothing I like about the redesign. Nothing. Everything about it makes the experience worse, and it looks like they threw widgets in a bag, shook it up, tossed it on a canvas, and they landed where they landed.

Super over it already. I have grumbled about app changes in the past, but usually they’re neutral or only slightly irritating. Everything has just been flipped around for no reason. Why is the setting/profile now on the bottom left instead of the top right? Why is the search bar so massive and close to the edges? What’s with this awful new color scheme? What’s with the feed-style layout in mobile when you select “activities”?
