I used to think JIRA sucked until my company migrated to ClickUp. In general most of the tools can be made to be usable if a tech lead or engineering manager can tweak them to what a team actually needs. Usually they are left in the hands of TPMs or Scrum Masters who generally make the whole process too heavyweight and complicated.

Yes, ClickUp was the worst I’ve used out of Pivotal Tracker, Trello, Wrike, Jira, Excel, Notion Calvinball, threatening emails, or text files

  What would y’all say are their best features? The must haves done right? Our team used Redmine from a decade ago, but people like all the pretty ways to drag items between columns or something

    oh wow, redmine! i worked at a place back in 2008 and we used redmine -- i even wrote a plugin to track worked hours so we could properly bill clients (i ended up learning rails because of this).

  > Notion Calvinball You got me looking, but this doesn't seem to exist. I kinda want to see a Calvinball issue tracker now.

This is what happened to us for years, trying to create a common process for multiple teams on the same jira project. Then the manager that oversaw those teams left and during the last reorganization we all split up into our own jira projects where each team could configure it however they wanted. There's still rough edges, like with how links are inconsistent, but overall it's been pretty great since then.
