Poll: What do you use to track your bugs?

#1

What tools do fellow hackers use to track their bugs, issues, features and client/user feedback. Do you like it or hate it? If you don't use one, why not?

EDIT: As some of you may know, we're building a bug tracking tool of sorts (actually something a lot different to all the tools listed). The point of this poll is to find out what folks like us are currently using. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Bugzilla. I wouldn't say I love or hate it, but it works and it's what I know. The biggest downside is that I'm not a Perl hacker, so if I wanted to hack on BZ, I'd have to take the time to learn Perl. Luckily I've never felt much of a need to modify Bugzilla. It just works.

I am using JIRA (their 10 bucks offer). It is a bit slow on my 256mb linode though.

SD (Simple Defects) is more choice when I can. Distributed and works pretty well, and not too complex.

Post-It notes and 'drop everything and fix it now.' If it's not important enough to fix now, then it's alright if we forget it.

We use GitHub Issues. It's very barebones but ties in very nicely with our source control site of choice: GitHub, and there is no need to context-switch.

I've got some stats on my site wappalyzer.com, I'll look into adding the ones you mentioned and aren't listed:

"Stop doing everything and fix it" along with basecamp to-do lists for the other, non critical bugs.
