Atlassian's Jira and Confluence. Why?
Their search capability is just bad. To find something requires a lot of tries and tricks. I don't want to waste cognition because they re-invented the flat tire.
Their inbrowser text editors are also just bad. On the level of WordPress three years ago. Markdown? no. Cut and paste from other apps? OK, if you remember to "Paste as Plain Text.

- jbay808 6y agoConfluence... I was floored when I realized it can't support duplicate page names in separate page heirarchies. eg. You can't have a page called Engineering > Electrical > Test Procedure and another page called Engineering > Mechanical > Test Procedure, because the two "Test Procedure" pages are considered as occupying the same namespace.
- philipwhiuk 6y agoYeah... this pissed me off. - I end up using prefixes (so "Mech - Test Procedure" :@
- hinkley 6y agoI worked on a Trac-based project long ago and I thought for sure when I moved on it would be to greener pastures. But it was simple and if you used it certain ways you could get a hell of a lot out of very little. Its biggest problem was that the parse and display code were entangled (same problem I had with AngularJS), and it made writing addons an exercise in re-implementing features of the parser over and over again. But I heard they fixed that quite a while ago.
