  Pivotal was too simple. Can't create assignable sub-tasks and attach bugs to a story.

    Tracker's workflow is simple by design. I didn't like it, then I started working at Pivotal Labs, and now I get it. And you can create tasks per story. Incidentally, "Pivotal" is the company. "Tracker" is the hosted product.

  I do. All the developers dislike it, without exception. So do many of the non-developers. 1) I find the search clunky and rarely helpful. 2) Of the applications—all web-apps or "native" apps that are actually still JS+HTML (so, Electron apps), surprising no-one—whose memory-hogging and generally poor performance have rendered <8GB RAM machines unusable in our company, Asana is the worst.[1] 3) I think part of this is due to the way we use it, but if I look for information in Asana and don't find it I have very low confidence that it is not there. The aforementioned unhelpful search function contributes to this, but it's not the only reason. [1] I just had an idea: we should rate productivity software based on the last year in which leading PC video games' average recommended (not minimum) RAM specs roughly matched that of the software in question. Lower is better. This would be the last year in which that application would send anything else running on a decent gaming machine into swap. I'm guessing Asana would land in the 2003-2005 range. [EDIT] If you're just using it as a fancy TODO list it's probably fine, but then its enormous memory footprint is really unjustified.
