I don't use Trello, but it's lightyears ahead of JIRA in terms of UX. And it was endlessly flexible and fun to use. Personally I think there are still better tools than Trello (GitHub + ZenHub, for starters), but regardless people are worried that Atlassian will Atlassian-up Trello like it has done with some other tools in the past. Shoehorning in some crappy Atlassian user login, and some crappy Atlassian global product bar, forcing in the Atlassian workflows, Atlassian Teams, and other crap... and just generally fucking up the product in a way that brings it under their umbrella and makes it disgusting to caring users in the process. Atlassian UX is just horrible. I wouldn't go near that stuff if I didn't have a project large enough I could get a dedicated support person to handle all the workflows and permissions and groups and crap that perpetually fall every so slightly out of alignment and then nothing works right for your team. If a tool is cumbersome and gets in the way, I don't want anything to do with it.
