What changed? More features, more complexity, worse defaults, enterprise stuff, etc.
And did you switch to something else, or just keep using it?

I remember github being faster in the past.
It was much simpler and faster. Now it's one of the most convuloted tools and it's actually a pain to use. Linear kind of resolve that.
I know I know, it's not per say a development tool, but without Kanban or project manager, it's hard to do anything.
