Several of the complaints mentioned are over a decade old. For instance, I searched for "I **ing hate JIRA too, the interface is clunky and slow and makes me angry.," and found it was from this comment from Feb 2014 [1]. It is perhaps a bit disingenuous to not to include dates. 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1z07fi/my_company...

It hasn't really changed in my experience.

Some people complain that I don't update my stories but more often than not I just wait so much for stuff to open on Jira that end up doing something else while it is loading the page and forget about it.

Jira tries to solve everyone’s problem. It tries to incorporate everyone’s idea of how and what’s needed to be tracked. I can just say from my own experience that the one that created the workflow and what fields that they absolutely must have to do some sort of follow up, have never worked as a developer or anything near a software project, and yet enforces all this garbage for their illusion of control. And yet the…

Lots of things can be a ticket, though.

Crap, clunky interface is ingrained in their culture. There was a release mid last year that changed the comments loading to be paginated to speed up ticket page load times.

They loaded the oldest comments first... and you had to click "Load the next 10" REPEATEDLY until you got to the newest comments.

I have since left that company and don't have to deal with Jira anymore so I'm not sure if it got "fixed" at all since then.

It was the one of the most baffling, user hostile decision I have seen made to a product, and I'm sure someone got a commendation for "speeding up the ticket load page by X%".

I Fucking Hate This Website Design. I get their points, but the way everything is presented is awful. I assume that these are comments on an article or responses in a conversation, but I can't see who is responding to what. Clicking "Next" to see each individual comment is also tedious, and it means I'm going to stop reading after 4 or 5 pages. I'd rather read a single page that I can scroll through rather than an "i…

I don't understand why someone would make this?

I always wonder how much of this sort of thing is disdain for the specific tool vs. disdain for what working in a mid-to-large org. is like and the overhead it usually brings with it.

The specific tool is often bad, working in mid-to-large orgs is often bad, and the two combined can be catastrophically bad. Poorly configured Jira on top of a poorly run large organization and you end up with an orwellian system that does nothing but punish people and squander productivity and human life.
