Jira is the worst bug tracking tool I've ever used.
Have you tried HP’s Quality Center (QC)?
LOL. Never. But you say it like if that one was the VisualSourceSafe of bugtracking tools.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah I've had nothing but a bad time with Jira, it's slow / high latency and high impact to use - combining that with GitHubs poor UX and I guess they're made for each other :/
Admittedly I havn't used Jira for about 6 years, but I don't recall it being particularly slow, at least if you give it decent hardware to run on (this is on-prem, so not sure how the Cloud editions go). If you're talking about process aspects, well.. that's also a business process thing, as to how much information PMs/etc want.
Cloud JIRA is so bad that Atlassian is pulling an Oracle and adding contractual clauses to forbid people from talking about it.

#33Isn't Jira from one of its major competitor? This is interesting.
I'm guessing they want to try and take some of the bitbucket market share back.

#34Ok, so finally time to move on to Gitlab, my weekend is gone! While from what I read GH issues are not going away, I won't be surprised if GH finally becomes a pure enterprisey product. My only concern is what happens when Gitlab is acquired? If someone from GL can confirm that they have serious checks and balances in place to not let the users who make Gitlab succeed be left to fend for themselves, can be a killing…
There has been a GitLab+JIRA integration for some time already.

#35Can someone explain all the Jira hate to me? Yeah it's an ugly UI. But once you are used to how it works, doesn't it do the job fine? I don't spend that much time in task management software, just need to look up my tasks...
The hate for it is from the large amount of customization that is done to workflows at large organizations, many times in the name of "compliance" or "security".
Instead of just moving stories between lanes (To Do, In progress, Testing, Done or whatever), you're filling out multiple forms, clicking a bunch of checkboxes, adding links to test results, build results, PRs, etc, all for someone you'll never know to run a weekly report and send it off to a bunch of people who will never read it. But they will generate a wonderful paper trail in case something happens.

#36I'm all for this if it prompts Jira to support Markdown.

#37I don't understand the negativity in this thread. Or why people are using this post as an impetus to (ostensibly) move to gitlab. Or lament the decline and fall of github. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Jira. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Github. You can continue to use both without adopting any of the UX or design or workflows or whatever of the other.

It’s a sign of how bad JIRA is.
The tool is so bad that people (including me) want the integrations to be hard simply to have a reason not to use it.

#38Re: GitHub and Jira Software Integration
#39I see a lot of people complaining about JIRA in this thread, so here's my take: - I've used Trello, GitHub Projects/Issues, and other Project Management software; - While JIRA has a steep learning curve and is generally unpleasant to use, it is far and away the most customizable and powerful PM software I have used; - Despite JIRA's poor design choices and UX clunkiness, it is so powerful that I wouldn't use anything…
For me that’s exactly the problem with JIRA. Each team I’ve worked with uses a different board, workflow, and what not. I still don’t understand the hierarchy.
And since it is infinitely configurable, the UX is just horrible. It’s not optimised for any particular audience and is all over the place.

It's because many of us have worked at companies that use JIRA extensively. It's a tool that marks the sign that a company cares more about the management of staff as units, instead of caring about employees as breathing and creative forces.
It makes management's job easier, but it does nothing for the managed, except lead to frustration and hundreds of emails that have to be waded through for that 5% chance of relevancy.
Their integration seems particularly targeted to JIRA, when they've lapsed on many other useful features and improved UX implementations. It reflects GH's priorities as a company.
It's a sign that github is catering to management over the programmer. Contrast that to gitlab, whose implementations are designed to make the programmer's job easier.
