We use Jira at work. We register issues in it, we got Fisheye integrated, the SQL-ish search makes it reasonably easy to find issues. The custom dashboards makes it reasonably easy to have a good overview over my issues.

My previous serious exposure has been MantisBT and Bugzilla. Out of those I vastly prefer Jira.

So what's with the Jira hate? Seems clear we're not doing something a lot of other people are with our Jira.

Jira is customizable, so one user might have a vanilla experience while another one might have one with enough issue fields to make an airliner cockpit blush with envy and complicated multistep workflows.

The latter tends to be horrifically slow from what I understand.
