I think it looks promising. Just trying to move to Azure Devops and it has a good product/issue separation I think, but it's way too customizable. I don't want a tool that can be made to suit any process, I want one that supports a reasonable process without hours of configuration and plugin. E.g. i Azure Devops it seems extremely hard to get feature progress and time rollups for features broken into backlog items and further into tasks. Everything seems estimated separately and marking a task as having spent 10h on is never seen as 10h spent on the backlog item or top level feature. It's confusing as hell (I'm probably just not getting it - but that's usually just a sign of poor UX instead of missing or incorrect functionality)

Nothing made me enjoy Jira like being forced to move to DevOps.

By MS's own admission it's way too complicated, so much so that they've now made the "Basic" workflow (which looks a lot like Jira) the default.
