This seems to be a somewhat baseless claim while using 3 open source projects as examples. Jira makes money off commercial licenses, and is a much more feature rich and productive tool for a large organization. If you can show me atlassian profit loss (hint there isn't any: https://investors.atlassian.com/financials-and-filings/financial-statements/default.aspx https://investors.atlassian.com/financials-and-filings/finan...) then I would believe this.

I know for a fact that a lot of fortune 100 companies are switching their code hosting from Atlassian Stash to Github, at the price of losing tight integration between issues and code, not to mention all the headaches involved in switching. I think it's a matter of time before Github comes out with a better issue tracking system and everyone jumps ship.

  Wait, what???? People buy this stuff just to host code???? You don't need either of these for code hosting. Use git as intended by Linus. If you really feel the urge to complicate things with a web browser, note that cgit is the high-performing repo viewer. Stay far away from Atlassian's bloated Java.

We moved to it (edit: JIRA) recently from Trello, a story almost ubiquitous among young, growing companies in my community. (So there's my anecdotal evidence.) When we finally hired a project manager/producer, we tightened up our processes and after much searching, landed on JIRA, no matter how much we wanted to find something better. I can't imagine Github is eating into any of JIRA's core users. FWIW, Github Issues didn't make it past the first round of trials in our company, but I'm very happy it exists for (and for its integration with) the few open source projects I own/contribute to. Edit: the article says moving to Github Issues, and then talks about code hosting. We host all our non-open-source code with Wildbit Beanstalk (http://beanstalkapp.com http://beanstalkapp.com) and use JIRA for project management/issue tracking. The article is a bit confused.
