The current startup is using notion and GitHub. Github is a POS when it comes to bug tracking. Notion is pretty good. It's somehow different and more annoying than Confluence, but faster.

Jira/Confluence IMO is pretty good, but people have a love/hate relationship with it. If you actually use them they're great.

Notion becomes a disorganized pile of crap, just like Confluence. Confluence allows you to link stuff to Jira and back.

Excel is pretty much required for interacting with clients. You send them an Excel spreadsheet, they send it back. Sheets just sort of sucks in all kinds of small ways because it isn't Excel.

Linking issues and doc is pretty much nice feature. I don't have Atlassian experience but I feel Notion databases slow to interact and with unnecessary animations and transitions. Sure regular Notion pages are fast to load. Coming from extensive excel user teams, Sheets is really hard for me to navigate.
