If you want something that is simple use kanban-board like trello, github, an excel spreadsheet or whatever. The complexity comes from the demand of Jira's paying professional customers. Eventually Jira will grow too complex and bane the way for simpler tools probably of a different paradigm. Much like how Jira replaced things like HP Quality Center or the tools of Rational Unified Process.
