#3Show of hands. Who is using Scrum at their startups?
I've used it before in G.ho.st (http://G.ho.st) and I'm using it again in a new project I'm building.

#4Based on the number of popular essays Joel Spolsky has squeezed out of FogBugz, you would think it was a revolutionary software project on a par with Engelbart's 1968 demo, rather than... a bug tracker.
I have never used it myself. Perhaps it is the Platonic bug tracker. Still, like Manila or fetchmail, the project itself seems out of all proportion to the mighty river of wisdom that its author has coaxed out of it.

If advertising is entertaining and interesting then more power to the promoter.

I haven't used Version 7, but I have used previous versions, and I can assure you, it's not at all the Platonic bug tracker. In fact, if you take a look at this article, you'll see that certain basic features (such as setting milestones) have been pretty clumsily implemented through the first 6 versions, at least.
You'd think that a team of rock stars in a a cubicle-free paradise with the benefit of Joel's wisdom would be able to really nail an application as trivial as bug tracking over the course of 7 versions. You'd think.

I'd much rather authors write about what they know rather than make stuff up about things they don't know. It's up to the audience to determine if it's worth getting something out of it.

I think that even a team of rock stars in a cubicle-free paradise are still beholden to whatever set of development priorities they are handed.

Erm, Joel didn't write this; someone else on the FogBugz team did.
