Definitely. Email is almost like too-big-to-fail. Not that chat isn’t just as (possibly more) important for intimate team communication. But more importantly, email is good.

Email got so many things so right that we're still unpacking its brilliance four decades later. Long-form and asynchronous, email is an ace medium for fully considered thoughts. Not knee-jerk, instant reactions. We lost sight of that due to chaff.
