For a company worth a small fortune Atlassian are totally incapable of designing good products. Since they acquired Trello I’ve watched them slowly but surely overcomplicate the interface making the product less intuitive.

  The "small fortune" in "worth a small fortune" actually means "a lot of money."

I swear Confluence was designed by somebody who woke up from a coma or cryogenic sleep and brought cutting edge 1996 functions to the web. It was so sad to see people like it. Oh you poor pitiful souls…

  Honestly: Do you know of any wiki software that’s better than Confluence? I have yet to see one.

    SharePoint?

      I can only infer that you've never used SharePoint. As both a user and both as a Product or Project manager, it's worse in almost every metric. Atlassians products sick but they're strides better than their competitors which says more about the industry than anything else.

        I can infer that you may not have used SharePoint recently or any of the Azure project management suite. That ecosystem has gotten drastically better in the past half decade.

        I'm using Sharepoint and Azure DevOps boards now, Atlassian was last used 3+ years ago.

    I would say Notion. Not sure if it's considered the same category

      For a note taking app, Notion's accessibility is hilariously bad.

        I don't disagree, I haven't checked myself so I can't say, however I'm missing how is this related to the "being a wiki" comment I posted

Bitbucket server was actually getting good when they cancelled it. They upped the prices of data center to dissuade people. Their Bitbucket cloud is a travesty, once a promising place, offering private repos before GitHub... But they squandered their lead by letting it languish.
