It’s a real pain how slow it is. I’ve resorted to adding quick links to my bookmark bar for GCP products that I use often to get around the slowness.

#12That's what happens when you employ over-enthusiastic developers obsessed with their Javascript-framework-legacy. Things worked fast when HTML was the UI, and the logic was in the server.
I worked on a server rendered project in the 00s. There was a screen that took 7 minutes to render for about 100 list items. You can make anything slow if you really try.
Correction: you can many anything slow if you don't try.

#13Atlassian Jira is dog slow too. Drives me nuts.
Atlassian is one of those places that I just can't believe has gotten so widely used. Every single thing I've used that is an Atlassian product drives me nuts. I really don't understand how anyone at any point looked at Jira or Confluence or anything Atlassian puts out and said "yep, this is the best version of this thing I've seen, sign me up". I've been using JIRA for years now, and it never gets any easier or bett…
Because UI snappiness is not the only thing that matters.
One example: Jira integrates with _everything_. It really matters that you can create tickets from Slack, send email to the management when epics progress, see Github pull requests linked to tickets, and so on.

Any source of this info?

#15User to Dev: the memory usage is excessive. Dev with 256 GB RAM to User: WFM
I would not be surprised if a lot of these problems could be traced back to developers having above-average network connections and super beefy computers. Combine that with fresh or minimal installs while testing the software, without lots of data that accumulated over month or years of use and in consequence they experience their products as super snappy.
Summary: they maybe never experience their products as a normal user would.

Slow servers are a thing too you know.

What's a better alternative to Jira? I've tried Trello and Asana. Trello is nice for personal stuff and small projects but it doesn't work well for bigger projects and teams. Asana has an infuriatingly unintuitive interface but that might just be my personal preference.

JIRA is used because it's been around a long time and until recently the competition was even worse. It's also gotten slower over time in my experience.

I agree. I have a second, crummy old laptop for just this reason. I can't quite bring myself to develop on an underpowered machine, but it is useful to have one as a reference. Also, my phone is old because I'm a cheapskate, so that helps tremendously with assessing mobile performance.
