I would complain that JIRA itself is closed-source...but the author is recomending Github as an alternative, which is also closed-source. Ah well. :)

I recently started using Phabricator (http://phabricator.org/), which is open-source, and find that it's quite easy to use/set up. It's also used and well regarded by a number of startups, including Facebook, Asana and Quora.

Disclaimer: I've made minor contributions to Phabricator and will be making larger ones shortly.

I'm a fan of GitHub and use that and git as my primary development tools these days. I generally prefer them to SVN, although SVN has a much a richer ecosystem of tools and handles some use cases better. What I don't get is how people constantly post things like this. It's not like open source didn't exist until GitHub graced us with its presence. You might not like it because it's not your toolchain, but that's true of everything. I can't stand GitHub Issues, bugzilla, or Lighthouse and choose not to use them where I can; that doesn't make them anti-Open Source.

At the end of the day, the ASF has done more for open source than most organizations and has produced a large amount of open source code, regardless of its evolving toolchain. FWIW, I did come into the ASF through SVN & JIRA. I did prefer darcs, bzr, and AccuRev to SVN (this was back in 2004). But, I wanted to contribute, so I did.

I'm not complaining on principle. I'm complaining because of the EXTREME pain text patches cause me.
