I fucking hate JIRA because it encourages people to create and abandon tickets for years, creating an alternate dimension of irrelevant trash that gets in the way of doing things.
If your team has an append-only doctrine to information, like most tech debt mills in the industry have, JIRA will become an extension of that ever increasing pile of unmaintained, disgusting, revolting monolith of excrement that captures every activity in software development.
Nothing can be done about the gigantic monolith of soul crushing chaos therefore we need to embrace it, at the expense of our sanity. Nothing can be done about the hopeless hoarding of irrelevant, duplicate tickets that distract people from work.
JIRA makes it very easy to create new tickets, and much harder to close them. So naturally it becomes a virtual sewer. JIRA is about being able to present a large amount of information to easily impressionable people so that so some people can justify their job.
