This. Setting up Jira invariably meant searching internet for me. I have seldom worked with less intuitive UI (Outlook comes to mind, but it is a much smaller app). In light of this article - is it because noone had a clear vision of the app and they all just implemented tickets?
That's kind of funny to think about. I'm pretty sure most of JIRA's configuration faults are from over-zealously fulfilling every wish their customers in the early-to-mid level stages had. I'm always confused by the "workflow screen" section and why it was ever done that way.
