Well, I just found the NextGen projects and have been playing around with them. This looks like a massive improvement. Fixes most of my pain points. I'm still going to miss Waffle's tight integration with Github -- being able to see the PRs under the cards along with their review and build status at a glance was wonderful.

But this makes Jira much less of an "Oh god, do I have to open that?" and much more of a tool I can actually make use of. Before I was in a state grudging accepting (because our PMs clearly needed it) while dreading the change. Now I can reach of state of peaceful acceptance. I'll make use of the feedback link as I find things. Thanks for the hard work I'm sure the team put in to make this real!

Edit to add: After playing with it more, I would just ask that you, at the least, make that PR icon that shows on the card clickable to jump straight to the PR. Or find someway to expose a list of PRs and their state on the card itself.
