Spolsky’s FogBugz is still out there after a few ownership changes, and is still a hell of a lot less painful to use than Jira.

- dwd 5y agoIt was innovative 13 years ago, but never really caught on. Kiln was also a great product and allowed for using both Git and Mercurial. It was way better than anything else at the time, but lost out to Github. I always liked Spolsky's Evidence Based Scheduling that was built into the products. https://fogbugz.com/evidence-based-scheduling/ https://fogbugz.com/evidence-based-scheduling/

I used both FogBugz and Kiln at a previous employer, and I really liked FogBugz, but we had nothing but problems with Kiln. We had a fairly large team (maybe 75-100 people) and a good sized project (maybe 300k lines), and it was painfully slow to do anything in Kiln and it was down/broken at least once a month. It wasn't so bad early on when we were small, but it didn't scale with us very well.
