Switch to Phabricator which is open source and you won't look back. JIRA truly is a crappy product designed to sell to managers who they wine and dine in order to sell, not based on how good or fast it is.

Wow. Phabricator has really evolved since the last time I looked at it. I will consider it for my next team.

As per wine and dine: 1. I have never interacted with a human being from Atlassian ever. 2. I don't think this is as effective for selling software anymore. This has been replaced by user conferences. Most people who can buy things that involve being wined and dined have can expense a nice meal when traveling for work. Many times a sales person may wine and dine you so they can wine and dine themselves.

Except there's no sales people there to wine & dine you...it's actually the complete opposite.
