Yeah "new Jira" is a big improvement. I recently had to setup a project and workflow for a new team, and was steeling myself for a configuration nightmare. But then I saw there's a new way to create projects. It is so much simpler to configure workflow, statuses, etc in these new projects. Because they're designed not to be shared across the whole org. The configuration is contained within the project. So they've created a de-enterprised process for configuring Jira, and made it far more suitable for smaller companies, or for teams that self-administer. All the clunky stuff is still there, but completely separate and you don't have to use it.
