I wonder how tense things are over at Atlassian right now. Jira seems so universally hated that it feels like any competition that ticks a few basic needs could start hurting them.

Probably not that tense. A lot of enterprises with Very Big Licenses are hard-locked into Atlassian products with little to no chance of changing.

I suspect that Azure Dev Ops is more comparable to Jira and is their real MS competition.

You would think this -- then you look at their balance sheet and re-evaluate everything you think about software.

So, yeh I partly agree.

However those orgs often have a Very Big License for GitHub Enterprise, and therefore with some enterprise porting tools it's not that high friction a switch (supplier managers will be all in favour; one less contract to manage!)

Github should first fix that it displays "issues" of a repository instead of useful info when exploring https://github.com/explore Why would I want to see issues of a repo I have no clue about? I am there just to discover a new repo.

I've noticed since Microsoft acquired Github, the "explore" tab has been more and more useless. It's been months since it displays me the same repositories, and significantly less than before. I don't know if it's related, but the timing is suspicious.

I sort by date to get around this and it helps a lot.

Side note: I also do this in HN Algolia search and it still annoys me that the default sort setting doesn’t work.

Most big corporations won't switch away from Jira and Atlassian in general anytime soon. If any changes would need to happen, it would take years.

They mostly don't. Once you have Jira, you have Confluence, then Bitbucket. That many less contracts to manage.

It's for people that want to find issues to work on in random repos, I suppose.
