Ripcord is lovely, I'm a paying customer[0] and highly recommend it. I used it for years with Slack, and have only good things to say about the experience. It's also a living proof that all the bloat in Slack and similar apps is absolutely not necessary.
That said, the issue with Ripcord and similar is that they're all living on borrowed time - and using them means risking your own account. It's only a matter of time before Slack and Discord start to ban people using alternate clients - and then poof, Ripcord is dead.

Pretty sure in the case of Slack that their business customers will have words when a bunch of their developers can't suddently communicate with the business...
I'd wager those devs will be told to use the official Slack client.
So there’s no loss to using ripcord in the mean time.
