LOL no. If you think this way, there's something wrong in which your company is using it. It helps me personally to manage my work better.

It’s a near uniform “joke” at this point. Eventually you need to stop blaming the user.

It's not always the end user's fault, often its the organization's maturity, or lack thereof, as far as tasking.

However, pretending that there isn't a mass of programmers who think they know better than everyone else and couldn't benefit from task structure / documentation (be it SCRUM, Agile, whatever) isn't helpful at all.

We just transitioned to Bitbucket, and I've been using confluence and jira all week (including today) with no issues. There may have been outages and latency, but it's not been "down" for 4 days.

None of the product owners can put a bug ticket in so they have no way to proceed.

Don't most people self host an instance still? I haven't used it in a few years.

They have EOL'ed most of their self hosting products. I don't think you can buy a new self host license anymore.

Even if you could, you wouldn't. Self-hosted will lose maintenance support and you'll need to then move to the cloud anyway.

We just started moving to JIRA after a few years of Gitlab, where gitlab issues feels like nobody has worked on it for a long time.

And Jira has been really great. The sprint boards, concept of mapping statuses to in progress etc have all been great.

My one gripe (and it’s not a small one) is performance. It still feels quite sluggish. Is Atlassian ever going to address this?

Are you dismissing the importance of points driven scrums? And what about the stories? Won't someone think of the stories?!?

I'm so glad it's been years since I've had to that nonsense

What issues do people have with Jira? I've always wondered.

It absolutely has some nice features like how Jira and Confluence and BB can all work together.

But they prioritize feature velocity towards being "all things to all people" over usability. This means it's a mountain of inconsistency, bloat, and instability. It's super hard to use if page loads are many seconds long, your favorite button got moved into a hamburger menu to maximize unused whitespace, and their servers are a tangle they can't manage.
