I'm right there with you on Jira. The haters are wrong - it's a decent enough ticket system, no worse than anything else I've used. You can definitely torture Jira into something horrible, but that's not Jira's fault. Bad managers will ruin any ticket system if they have the customization tools to do so.



Using Jira feels like using IBM enterprise web software from 2005, and I am simply not going to make my teams put up with that amount of inanity.


We switched to JIRA around 2005 away from IBM enterprise web software, because it was a breath of fresh air.

So on the standard tech hype cycle, that sounds about right.


Found the person who never used Lotus Notes haha.


I was blown away when I found out a couple years ago that there were major corporations still using that as their primary communication platform.


Surely has improved in the last 20+ years? :hope:


Yeah, usually Jira hate is really convoluted company process hate. Of course the Jira software isn't perfect, but it's fine. Jira's strength and weakness is it's flexibility.
