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.

But by integrating github more tightly with a competitor (Jira) to their owners' main enterprise issue management service (TFS/VSTS/Azure DevOps)?

I work in a shop that had effectively no project management. When jira was introduced it was a godsend. Obviously email and slack requests aren't better, so what is the alternative system that has people hating on jira? Honest question.

I was running an on-prem jira. But I felt like I was doing something completely wrong because it was so unbearably slow. I was slightly embarrassed that it was on me that this was running so slow. Our team grew to the point where we needed a bigger license, so we just migrated over to Jira Cloud. And it was even slower than the on-prem install. No "no project management" isn't a better solution. No, I can't name any…

You really do have to basically over-provision the crap out of it, to get anything even in the neighborhood of “acceptable” performance.

I 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.

> Nobody is forcing anyone to use Jira. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Github. 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.

That’s not what “forced” means. There are plenty of other jobs, especially for the kinds of people who find Jira in their workflows.

There are a million project management apps that a small team can use and there is 0 aside from Jira that large enterprises can use.

> 0 aside from Jira that large enterprises can use. that's because the complaints against Jira (being infinitely customizable and has lots of enterprise features) are the very things that a startup can't do - and perhaps, feel they shouldn't do.

Thats not the main complaints against Jira.

Yes there are and read what people are writing about those systems they are even more abysmal thats why Atlassian dominates this market.

My work forces me to use Jira. It could be worse (and it has been better), but it's not great. What gitlab really has going for it is the really really useful CI decently integrated with git. If that's your primary conern then the fact that it gives you a reasonable wiki, issue tracker and other stuff on top is just well-enough prepared icing.

As long as you're located in or can move to the right places.

Jira is the worst bug tracking tool I've ever used.

I feel like Jira is like democracy: it's the worst bug tracking tool there is, except for all the other ones.

I’ve been upgrading a todo app into an issue tracking tool, and I already find it to be more useful than Jira.

I also have the misfortune of being our Jira admin, so I have more reasons than most to hate it.
