Yikes, that completely custom, non-standard UI is pretty jarring for me.

I thought it's quite a fresh breath of air from all the other apps. Conventions be damned!

Agreed, though HN'ers are on the conservative end of design.

Do people use GitHub Issues? Is there something that it's best at compared to the alternatives?

It does not seem native...was probably made with Titanium or Phonegap.

It is native.

If you're evaluating it against a full blown bug/requirements tracking system like JIRA, Fogbugz or similar it is fairly lacking.

If you want a dead simple, integrated, free (with your github subscription) bug tracking system that lets you close issues via git commit messages it is just what is called for.
