I can't think of a better example of this than JIRA. I remember installing it on-prem about twenty years ago. Pretty simple, easy to get around, pretty quick. Now, it is a towering behemoth of feature and I dread using it. For example, when you load the kanban view, when you re-focus the window, the tasks jump and bounce around, even if there's no change. I think that when the window gets focused, the front-end requests the latest data and then repaints it. Why repaint if the data has not changed? Another example is links. We add a lot of links in our tickets, and I'm always frustrated at how difficult it is to interact with them. When an issue page loads, it kicks off these async things which fetch the link data, and eventually renders them into some kind of first-class link div. The problem is that if you click on the link before the async call finishes and updates the link element, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. If the link does work, and you control click it, it will sometimes not open in a new tab, but instead in the current window. Which means that when you go Back,you have to wait again for the link to render. I respect that a lot of people are big JIRA fans, but I can't help but wonder if my experience is unique, or if nobody at Atlassian really uses it in anger.
