I feel that the main issue with Jira is that it is a victim of its own success the same way Windows was, when it was built it fulfilled the needs of the time, however time did not stand still and instead of refining what they had, they kept on adding to it without changing its fundamentals.

I think we both agree that in the age of VSCode: it is unacceptable for 30+ billion dollar company to have such a sluggish web UI.

I'm an engineer and I actually feel that Jira fails me because it's not flexible enough, some examples include: - issues cannot have more than one assignee - projects cannot have multiple releasable items / components - poor Bitbucket integration

> However, I wonder how many people are actually picking Jira based on its merits rather than it just being what they're accustomed/used to, or simply not knowing there are other options out there.

I pick it still because most people will understand how it works and I am able to customise it the most to fit everyone's needs more than all the other tools out there.
