I briefly used Jira, but I couldn't handle the extreme slowness. You click something. Then you wait. And wait. And wait.

Cloud or Server? It seems a lot of companies’ reputation were broken by clients installing their software on 2GB/1.5GHz servers with HDD, and Cloud will help at least getting a consistent measurable experience of the same product for everyone.
In what universe is a few billion instructions per second not enough to respond to a single click?
In OSGi universe. Making software which does one thing well is the easy part. Making extensible software with plugins is super-hard.
It has been done many times over the last 25 years. I think that's a pretty thin rationalization to having a program freeze when you click a button.
We're running on the Cloud version and the ticket pages are incredibly janky and slow.
My personal pet peeve is the very short session time, after which you literally cannot use the form you filled, because someone was too lazy to implement a full session system to hold content or background relogin to not lose it.
Yeah. That part is bad and has somehow gotten worse. The animations don't help.

They have a MacOS app now, which I've been meaning to try.

The MacOS app is blazingly fast. But oh so buggy. It has the potential to make me not hate Jira but it's still a bit rough.
It doesn’t get any better
