One real benefit of Jira is that almost everything else out there has an importer for Jira. We chose to move from FogBugz to Jira ~3 years ago, in part because we knew if it didn't end up working for us, it would be relatively easy to move to another platform.
Many of the competitors don't fully understand this. They offer importers for Jira, but not an *exporter to* Jira. It's a pretty hard sell to even consider something else if I know I'm going to be stuck there. I wrote the tools for FogBugz to Jira migration and it took a stupid amount of time to do.
FYI: FogBugz provided a Jira exporter but it was abandoned (much like FogBugz as a whole), and was totally unusable for the migration.
