What project management / issue / ticket managent tool do you use?

I am researching some alternatives to trac for my team. What project / ticket / issue apps do you use and why do you like or dislike it.

We are a team of 15 looking for something which is easy to use and track work loads.

Like: Fogbugz (small-ish team), Trello (small team)

Don't like: Jira, Whiteboard (like.. literally a whiteboard)

Want to try: Zenhub

I'm not a big fan of Basecamp. I find lack of support for code snippets and specific issue tracking make it inferior to GH Issues and Trello.

I'm using Zenhub at my current company. I preferred Pivotal Tracker, which we used at my last company. It just feels kind of janky overloading Github's website.

TBH, though, I struggle to find any other meaningful negative differences.

We use JIRA at work, and there are good and bad aspects.

My biggest peeve is that management always want to configure it to do time-tracking. This makes engineers hate the tool and lie to it, making it useless for bug tracking.

Trello - Color coding on priority, fast notifications and easy to use.

Slack - Quick communication and easy integration to other apps/tools
