I work with a bunch of non-tech people. I get what they're doing. The techy people are the only ones who bother using ` for anything. I have no idea if non-techies will start now that there's a button for it, but typing it is now really annoying for everyone who has been using it.

I kinda reminds me when Confluence added their WYSIWYG editor--or using Frontpage. I basically /had/ to go to code view to get the page to look consistent. So far Discourse has been my favorite implementation, with preview being off to the side. I'm sure that would eat up too much real estate for Slack.




Preview could appear above, pushing the conversation slightly up
