I know that my experience is by definition limited but across multiple companies & industries the use of JIRA has been uniformly an anti/pattern. GitHub issues on the other hand have never been a negative.

The only reason I bring this up is that I think this is an unmitigated bad feature. The only pushback I have at times in an org is the moat between JIRA & Github

Yeah I've had nothing but a bad time with Jira, it's slow / high latency and high impact to use - combining that with GitHubs poor UX and I guess they're made for each other :/

I feel sad for all the Github users who will have to suffer the awful JIRA UX. It’s a tool that tries to be everything to everyone with a decade of legacy cruft attached. The result is something that is slow, confusing, and incoherent. If you have an expert and sink a lot of time into, you can a few decent workflows, but it’s just not worth it.

In the end though, don’t worry the managers will get their reports and everyone will at least have there feature box checked (assume you don’t care about Markdown).

That's exactly what this is. Jira is entrenched in enterprises...whoever at those seem to like Jira, for whatever reason. Developers want GitHub.

So bosses want Jira, developers want Github. This is one of those have your cake and eat it too scenarios for both Atlassian and GitHub.

Ok, so finally time to move on to Gitlab, my weekend is gone! While from what I read GH issues are not going away, I won't be surprised if GH finally becomes a pure enterprisey product.

My only concern is what happens when Gitlab is acquired? If someone from GL can confirm that they have serious checks and balances in place to not let the users who make Gitlab succeed be left to fend for themselves, can be a killing blow to Github in retaining even the left overs!
