The only reason Slack lags for you and Skype doesn't, I would guess, is that you have a Windows phone or a slow connection.
Most people don't like the voice/video calls. I get that you do. Slack does have an option to call others, but not groups, unless you get the premium version. I have no interest/time for that. Slack is a pure chat app, which is all I want for a group chat area. I like that it is like IRC. I can schedule sleep time for notifications in Slack. I can more easily sleep notifications in Slack outside of my scheduled sleep times. I also use Slack for other things, including professionally, so I am in it more than Skype.
I like the different rooms in Slack. I like that it is web based as well as app based. I can sign in on any computer, I don't have to have a Windows app installed, and the web app actually works, unlike Skype, who tries to funnel all of their activity to the Windows app.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
