Well its not a cheap product, I suspect its just a massive knot of complexity and thus massively expensive to maintain and manage.
Massive pile of garbage is more like it. As a developer, the only thing slowing me down from getting work done was waiting on JIRA and being told to use the crap they call Confluence to document things.
JIRA & Confluence seem to be the best of a bad bunch. I do miss the self-hosted option.
Does anyone actually like using JIRA? Or Confluence? Or any of the Atlassian products?

Lol. At some companies, Jira workflows literally run the whole company. At my prev job, prod deployments were tightly linked to Jira.

What do you recommend instead? JIRA & Confluence seem to be the best of a bad bunch. I do miss the self-hosted option.

It's worth a look if you're evaluating.
JetBrains Space is another alternative, but I have no experience with it.
