I've never understood the hatred for JIRA - it includes a ton of features that many find useful. Yeah it's a PM tool but you need the ability to organize boards and workflows at scale in larger organizations. It's not a tool intended for your startup that can manage with Trello or Github Projects.

This reads like the usual developer's opinion of "the world is not built for me" and "I don't like it if developers aren't thought of first"

It's not just a PM tool. There are hundreds of examples at our company where e.g. developers documented various tasks in Jira tickets including steps to take, commands to run, things to watch out for, that benefited me greatly. Sometimes the original developer is no longer at the company, and yet I can find the information in a ticket. Our Jira installation is more like a shared brain than a PM tool.
