I’ve heard Jira described by developers as “the worst except for everything else out there.” Its put in with reluctance rather than enthusiasm.

- raverbashing 9y agoThat is the correct answer And to be honest, it's a process tool. Dealing with processes is boring. Jira is better than bugzilla and trac. And much better than some tools, constructed from manure, from big IT companies and sold for very high price tags.
- hinkley 9y agoAfter years of using Jira I kinda miss Trac. It's sad to me that they lost momentum. I think they got stuck trying to overcome tech debt and bug fixes and feature requests started to pile up. From time to time I keep an eye on CommonMark implementations and fantasize about writing an MVP to replicate parts of Trac by composing existing tools. Unfortunately there are like 5 other things I'd rather do with my free time.
- Game_Ender 9y agoCheck out Phabricator, it’s written in php, but it has that nice integrated suite feel that Trac had. It also gets a lot of use including at Facebook.
- Steeeve 9y agoThat's actually a fantastic description of Jira.
- subpixel 9y agoI've heard Confluence described as "Satan's wiki", and my experience with Jira is very similar.
