The problems with Jira can be extended to the rest of Atlassian and all of their offerings. Their company culture is very much one of "we're right, no matter how many people bring up the same issues." Things like:
- Shoving political messaging into git terminal messages
- Renaming "blame" to something else without notifying the userbase ("annotate"? It's been a while) because, despite "blame" being a git term, its usage hurt someone's feelings (yes, seriously, even though no proof or elaboration has ever been provided)
- Not fixing a bug for 6+ years where, if someone's typing a comment and accidentally hit the escape key, the entire post gets deleted with no option to recover it (I'm not sure if this ever actually was resolved)
That said, for a while, Jira had a lot of good things going for it. But by now, enough competitors have popped up with similar offerings that are easier to use without all of the unnecessary self-importance buried within it.
For a Jira alternative specifically, I've been using Linear.app for the last 8 months and enjoying it overall
- eterm 4y agoAnnotate was the SVN term, have you considered it might just pre-date git?
- Minor49er 4y agoThat's interesting. This change certainly came post-SVN. I don't recall that ever being used as an explanation, though. Still, quite a silly thing to do based on the presumption that a benign word hurt a hypothetical person's feelings
