Great article. As you are likely not native English, just as a tip you can actually simplify a lot of statements by removing the word ‘the’. As one example:
> When the users need the features from Jira and request them to configure the plugins for many application scenarios, which contribute to the overall complexity of UIs.

Not a criticism - just thought this might help!
- mongol 6y agoAre both equally correct?
- Closi 6y agoThe first has incorrect use of the definite article (the users, the features), but to be honest it’s less about specific grammar syntax/rules and more about making writing easier to understand and more concise.
- bambataa 6y agoSecond is preferred. When you say “need the features”, that immediately makes me think “which features?” because it reads as if you are referring to some previously mentioned features.
- psnatch 6y agoYes, but only one is easy to read correctly.
- chrisseaton 6y agoThe 'features' in the sentence are indefinite - they're not fully specified - so clearly adding a definite article isn't right.
- dkdbejwi383 6y agoNo offence but I couldn’t understand the example without the correction.
