Slack is pretty bad yeah. It might work great if you write a whole message perfectly without typos. Then immediately when you have to go back and edit things like code snippets it gets confused: often you get raw backticks in the rendered message since it’s so confused.
And for technical stuff I very often have to edit my message.
And yes: don’t even get me started on having to think about whether I can write a link or whatever in MD or if I have to use the bells and whistles buttons in Slack.
Considering that Slack is used by both technical and non-technical users they should, well, really have a way to toggle between rendering the text immediately while typing and having it in the raw form while typing. Because editing it raw would be much less confusing for me.
