But at what expense? Does Jira ever frustrate you? Imagine how it frustrates developers that hate working with overly complex time-sink software. I can change my email client. I can change my text editor to my liking. I can change nearly any other tool I use, but when a company uses Jira, I'm trapped using something that mostly gets in my way.

I don't have the choice. I am just a cog in the wheels and it helps us do our job.

It's not really in the way, if that's the case it sounds like your processes or workflows are messed up.

I've had days where I don't want to see it, but that's because I'm tired of working. In those times it quick to blame Jira.

Oh definitely, the places I’ve worked have used Jira as a crutch for broken processes and workflows.
