Earlier quoted context omitted.
After fighting the move to Jira/Confluence for years, my company finally migrated away from Notion & Clubhouse. I couldn't be happier. Notion was great when we were <5 people, but it feels like a toy compared to Confluence.
What am I missing out on? I get Confluence has lots of enterprisey features for sysadmins but as an author it has always been a terrible experience, especially for code. There's so much friction to actually creating documentation that nobody actually does it or if they do never bother to update it.
Confluence's biggest value to me is on the Product/Project Management side of things, not necessarily code documentation. Being able to embed Figma docs, client requests .docx files, link to tables/epics/issues, and produce Gantt charts all in one place has been absolutely critical to taking our team from "boutique software studio" to "fast-growing product agency."
