Firefox's Bugzilla is certainly one of the oldest running bug trackers. I'm impressed at how much of the original feel of the bug tracker is still around after all these revisions. It was a pretty hairy, monstrous codebase back in the day.

At one point in 2000 (?) I stood up an instance in our Windows dev shop to replace a home-grown bugtracker built on Microsoft Access/Outlook. It was complex but pretty much one of the best-of-breed bugtrackers for some time. I think that FogBugz was just getting started around then, and those guys were one of the first teams to really consider user experience.

Even today it is hard to beat Bugzilla. In fact, some of the choices available today are so much worse than Bugzilla that I cannot even fathom how they exist. As an example, Dwarf Fortress uses Mantis BT, which is just awful.

On the other hand, FogBugz is one that I have always wanted to try if I ever got the chance.

I used Mantis on a private project before, and although the UI is a bit on the ugly side and quite outdated, everything worked as expected and it did a pretty decent job at what it promised

Whoa, Fogbugz was sold off to a new buyer and Glitch is the only major product in Fog Creek's hands.
