100% this. JIRA is bad because it encourages managers to use it to do stupid things, not because it’s inherently bad software.

  We can say laptops are bad because they let people create bad software too. Jira is far from perfect but there isn’t much that solves what it can in an integrated manner. Sometimes complex problems need complex tools to manage them. Maybe some problems are too simple and basic but imagined to have complexity and end up in an over engineered Jira setup?

    Permits and encourages are quite different things though.

      I'd say less encourages.. And more easily enables. You know the saying that money doesn't change people.. It reveals what already there... Same ca be said to let people make the mess they already probably make. A disciplined workflow in any technology takes effort and thought. I don't feel like I've ever stopped trying to improve it. Sometimes with jira, other times in spite of it.
