Yet once again I recently have made decision to use mantis bug tracker. At a first glance it does not look too sexy but it is matured and have all functionaliti

  Ha, I wanted to say Mantis! I have used that to track stories/tickets/bugs for almost 15 years and it's my favorite. I love how the colors let me see at a glance what is most pressing. I find non-technical clients can use it without problems. One thing a lot of modern systems suffer from in my opinion (Trello, Pivotal Tracker, Asana, Agile Zen), is that the space to leave a comment is about 2 inches by 1 inch. Who wants to communicate via that? I find that they work well at the top level of defining cards, but within a card I think their UI psychologically discourages communication, so people resort to email and other things. With Mantis I've always felt less friction getting people to keep the communication inside the issue tracker. When you consider that, I'm not surprised that people are saying they like Github Issues. It's one of the few systems where you don't feel like you're peering through a microscope.

    In addition I can add that there is an interesting project called "mantis kanban" - look for their project here: https://github.com/cgaspard/mantiskanban https://github.com/cgaspard/mantiskanban And check the demo here: http://mantiskanban.com/mantisbt/mantiskanban/ http://mantiskanban.com/mantisbt/mantiskanban/ This made mantis look very impressive - and even my friend who loves those visual tweaks said he won't use trello anymore having mantis with mantiskanban.
