I will agree that "intelligent" time tracking features in FogBuz ~4 years ago seemed relatively flaky and random.
JIRA's benefits are likely in customization - which is a giant pain for managers in some ways, but it's nice that it can do it, but JIRA is supremely frustrating when editing dashboards. Every time somebody changed a component name, it would break all the underlying queries, etc.
I think there's a huge market for someone to overtake JIRA because it's so unfriendly, and I was very happy for various projects that had a team scope small enough to use Trello, but with better searching and a few more (optional) controls on top or something.
Since there's common DNA there, I think Trello could evolve to be that. I hope it can.
(BTW, I'm also nostalgic a tiny tiny amount for the end-user usability of Trac.)
- herge 11y agoAll bug trackers are literally crap. It's a really hard tool to write. The ones that make dealing with individual items/cases/tickets like Trello fall apart when you are dealing with hundred's of items. The ones that manage groups of items together efficiently (jira, maybe fogbugz) are a pain to do data entry in.
- mark9white 11y agoTry TargetProcess ... Gets very little attention. But hits that sweet spot for me at least.
- eterm 11y agoAnd then there are those which seem to manage collections and data entry but fall down completely when it comes to dashboards and data presentation. (see youtrack).
