Well, it is hard to beat in-person contact.

My experience with both and mailing lists is very similar as far as quality of conversation goes.

For:

> - The same 8 or so people respond to posts out of a community of tens of thousands of people, companies, non-profits, etc.
> - The odd situation of absolute certainty in completely incompatible opinions from those that do respond.
> - Difficult for people to discover. How do we know that the opinions shared here are in any way representative of the community, given that so few discover + participate in it?
> - Difficult to filter for relevance. Have to set up email filters and/or specialized search queries.
> - Zero real synchronization with OSM editors, the only way people add data to the map. Blame doled out everywhere, but very little in the way of collaboration, no real venue for doing so (see previous bullet points).

I see no difference between slack, personal emails and mailing list for this points.

Though personal emails are even worse in category "to discover" and 
in managing separate conversations.

Though I am confused what you mean by "Zero real synchronization with OSM editors"

What is wrong with a current forum?
