I agree that the negativity doesn't seem warranted, but plenty of people are being forced to use Jira or GitHub in their daily routines.

Isn'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.

This reads like a wise move on GitHub's part. Head to head, GitHub wins against bitbucket 10 out of 10 times x infinity. But being very close to enterprise sales cycles, some pointy haired boss somewhere says "gee, we have a jira contract already and they'll give me this other piece of software (bitbucket) for next to nothing...it's got to be good enough for my devs, right?" Of course this is silly way of thinking, but I'm certain it happens all the time, more than we think in forums like this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

to be fair, I've never seen a good bug tracking tool

Taiga and GitlabIssues are not too bad. Bugzilla was good 5-10 years ago, now I see it as too complex (and it's written in Perl...).

> and it's written in Perl

I don't personally much like Perl for my own projects. But, why in the world would you care if some other project is written in Perl?

JIRA is the top project management platform for good reason. I know a lot of people complain that it's complicated, but every time I've something simpler we end up hitting a wall. JIRA just needs a sensible workflow configured for your project and it's great. All that being said, I don't get this move. Atlassian has a very capable git product. GitHub should have attempted to anoint a new tool.

People complain not only it's complicated but it is slow and overloaded with unnecessary features. Can you open up create a new ticket window and how many features and fields do you count?

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 relev…

> It's a sign that github is catering to management over the programmer. Contrast that to gitlab, which is going the route of making the programmer's job easier.

The worst part is there is no evidence it makes managements job easier.

The saying is JIRA is yo project management what PowerPoint is to public speaking. For people who are good it can marginally improve the output but for most people it’s an easy way to wank away your time convincing yourself you are working on the right thing as you ignore the real issues.

Jira is bad enough that at one point was seriously considering doing a startup in this space. There is a ton of alternatives for "simpler" use cases but 0 better alternatives that can actually be used by large Enterprises.
