>because “it’s too complicated” I personally "hate" Jira because it's so dumb. I open an epic, to see the stories that still need my attention, it shows all the stories, so I hit the "Hide done". Then I thoughtlessly click on one of the stories, I edit it, go back to the epic, and now it shows all the stories again. Rinse and repeat. I open a screen, it loads slowly, when I think it's ready I click on whatever I wanted to click. Apparently, it wasn't quite ready, so by the time my mouse-click lands, I click the wrong thing, which brings me to a new screen, so I have to go back to where I came from. Rinse and repeat. I open an epic, click the button to "Add a child issue", it prompts a "task", I want a "story", so I have to change the selection in the dropdown. Next time, it prompts again a "task". How many times did I mistakenly make a "task" where I had meant to make a "story"?! There's this sort of silly (to me) things all over the place, which has often made me wonder: do these people use this software themselves, and if so, do they take any pride in it?

This applies to many systems I've seen and my short summary of that is "the bigger the system the more it resembles CRUD scaffold, because they stop implementing specific user flows". Luckily it's a nice space to contract in, making simpler dedicated interfaces to the heavy enterprise stuff.

> which has often made me wonder: do these people use this software themselves, and if so, do they take any pride in it? Agreed - Jira is functional but there are endless little annoyances like this. My usual problem is that I work across two project boards, and no matter what board you're on, the default project that Create Task picks is the last board that you created a ticket on, not the project for the current board that you're viewing.

  Random idea, untested. Maybe it remembers client side? Then using two different browsers (or users in the same browser) could separate them.

They do use it: https://jira.atlassian.com/issues https://jira.atlassian.com/issues As for being proud, with roughly 8k (?) employees I imagine you get the full spectrum.
