We just started moving to JIRA after a few years of Gitlab, where gitlab issues feels like nobody has worked on it for a long time. And Jira has been really great. The sprint boards, concept of mapping statuses to in progress etc have all been great. My one gripe (and it’s not a small one) is performance. It still feels quite sluggish. Is Atlassian ever going to address this?

cloud or onprem? I found cloud to never match what we could get in-house,

  cloud. I last used JIRA in 2007 with an on prem install.

If you're on cloud there's really nothing you can do; on server there are/were some performance tricks you could do by analyzing the SQL queries and designing the fields to be as slim as possible.

I have no expectation of it; They do everything slowly, regardless of how simple the task, and it’s been that way for ages. And they do ridiculous amounts of configuration. Im fairly sure at this point it’s just mountains of intermixed logic and death by a thousand cuts; I doubt they could significantly improve performance to approach something reasonable even if they wanted to.

No, consider that they have an entire team dedicated to their WYSIWYG comment text field and it weighs in at over 20mb(!!!) of JavaScript for a text box. Atlassian absolutely doesn't care about performance, it should've been obvious when they rolled out "new Jira" a couple of years ago and it was just as slow. Their priority is adding new esoteric settings that their top customers demand, hence why their settings tab is a labyrinth of spaghetti complexity.

  Just as slow? I’ve been using Jira for almost a decade now. Pretty sure it gets slower and slower.

    It got MUCH slower about... 7 years? back when it went all javascript-y; it seems to have mostly slowly improved since then, though it's still pretty slow.

What features are you missing from Gitlab? I've used several bug trackers including JIRA. Gitlab has been my best experience.

  I want to look at sprint progress by tickets marked as “complete” in a certain status. But the reports only do it by open and closed. We only merge/close when we’re releasing the ticket.

Depends what type of project you have. If you're on the next-gen, team-managed project, that was written from the ground up so is supposed to be faster.
