We use paid Azure DevOps for Source Control (although we're watching GitHub closely).

We tried to also use Azure Boards (Work Items, Boards, Backlogs, etc). Ouch. It is a complete UI mess of disjointed ideas. Instead of implementing one thing well, they implemented two dozen things terribly.

We actually migrated from Azure Boards to Office 365's Planner (KanBan) just because the UI wasn't so horrible. It is simple and gets out of your way. In fact O365's Planner, Teams, and OneNote Online products might be superior to anything Azure DevOps has produced.

The only nice thing I have to say about Azure DevOps Boards is that it integrates into Visual Studio, but frankly even that is barely passable. I'm predicting they scrap DevOps completely and just use GitHub as a clean slate.

I don't even use VS if I can avoid it... web dev is so much smoother in VS Code, and the laginess of VS is unbearable to me. I do have a couple .Net Core projects I mostly use in VS Code and one MS SQL DB project that I have to use VS for.

May want to checkout GitLab as an option as well.
