I use Jira. Trello is a cheaper, simpler, and smaller version of Jira.

Sounds like you're using jira wrong.

I suppose you can encode anything onto index cards. This doesn't mean it's usable.

So are 90% of Jira's users. That's the point.

While that may be true, I doubt switching to Trello would improve anything if you're already on JIRA. You don't join JIRA for the kanban....
Jira used correctly will triumph over Trello used correctly any day of the week. But for the lazy with simple needs, sure use Trello.

This is a beautifully expressed indictment of bad software. The tool defines what is correct, and users with a lower tolerance for effort, a lower investment in learning, different or more simple needs are incorrectly using it, or worse they are lazy.

I've seen this so often. A delivered piece of software is underused or used in a way the developers didn't intend, and it is their fault. Don't they know, if they used to software correctly it'd be awesome?

Or, put another way, our tool is the perfect solution for people who's needs are exactly what we thought they should be.

Hmm, I can definitely see that. JIRA can be the slowest, awkward, non-intuitive piece of crap web app out there.
Sounds like you've never used Target Process
Yeah dang, who would've ever thought that lazy people with simple needs was a big market?
