Even in list view, it goes very fast to so overwhelmed that it is unusable. There are then usually 2 cases: - teams have strategy like closing every issues that can't be worked on immediately. So clean board but rotten software with lots of issues buried and regularly rediscovered. - team just letting issues list grow unmanageably and will only look at the most recent things or what arrived in the parking.

In the few different companies of different sizes that I worked, I never saw a Jira that did not become a hot mess until people start new projects or new boards when they can't bear anymore.

I find it also extremely difficult to find anything. Like you know that an issue exist but search will not help you find it easily. Very often I have to go to Gmail to search in notifications to find back the link to an issue.
