that we're all really just upset at Atlassian making great products for their. target. markets.
No. "We're" not. You. You are. People tend to extrapolate from themselves and assume the same is true for others, but that's an impulse we have to control and use stronger reasoning.
Atlassin has good products and none of the silliness that comes from accepting VC cash. That they're not hip in the startup echo chamber doesn't bother me. I don't need to (inaccurately) characterize and throw shade at their customer base to not have a hangup about that company.
I think there is more going on here than you disliking their UI and therefore dismissing them as too "enterprise." Have you considered pulling your head outside the startup bubble, and having a bit of a think for a while about what you're actually frustrated with ('cause it sure as shit ain't Atlassin)?
- nstj 11y agoNo need to make it personal! I was only referring to the people who always complain about their products. I have a huge amount of respect for Atlassian (IMO they're the standout Au tech story as a company), have a number of friends who work for them, and have enjoyed countless free beers and pizzas as a result of their selfless sponsorship of the software development community. Starting a company which actually has sales and sustainably operates - all with capital from your credit card? I think that is f$&)ing awesome. I was just trying to place some commentary around the not-infrequent complaints given to some of their products which I hear - I wasn't trying to justify them. :) peace
