Who the hell things that slippery slopes are a fallacy? You got it backwards - slippery slopes are a basic fact of life, pretending they don't exist is a fallacy.
Anyone who finds "the slippery slope fallacy" a useful soldier in their argument.
I find that soldier far less effective and versatile than actual fallacious slippery slopes arguments! Even acausal slippery slopes!
Careful! The slope can slip both ways!
A good rule of thumb for determining which way the slope is slipping, is to see which side is arguing for a change from the status quo.
