Clickup is kinda like this (trash software btw) where it combines all these things. Its super cumbersome to deal with all of them in the same UI. For example, you will be chatting with someone, need to look at ticket, you have to completely leave the context of the chat to find the ticket. Yeah you can have multiple tabs, but still cumbersome. Would rather have a chat app for chat, documentation in documentation... so on.

That's exactly how I feel Teams want's me to use it. It's just... dumb, all those "apps" that are integrated, but in reality it's just another super heavy website that you can't easily jump into/out of.

Has anyons (except 37sign) used Basecamp in a small/medium/large corp? I'm really curious how well it works

Could you elaborate on what makes Clickup "trash software", is it something specific to Clickup or your opinion around this entire "class" of all-in-one workspace?

Here are a few things off the top:

- horrible optimization

    - video calls will easily bloat 1-3gb of ram

- buggy, things that should work sometimes don't

    - e.g. sometimes you click to write... you get a spinner, wait 10 seconds

- poor ux. I have been using it for 4+ years at work, still have trouble finding things

- yeah, all things in one interface

These are opinions. People can have different. To me, its just a slow and difficult to navigate mess that doesn't know what it wants to be.

It does know: it wants to be everything -- they remind you in every ad!

ClickUp is known to be extremely slow and buggy, in a way that technical people can infer is a reflection of their mission to literally do everything an organization needs.

Who ever built a piece of quality software by setting out to build multiple otherwise unrelated pieces of software with extremely tight coupling to satisfy enterprise bargain hunting?

Apparently Lotus Notes did something like that, but I wasn’t around then so I can’t speak to the veracity of that claim.

we evaluated them in 2023, because we wanted to move off JIRA, and their name came up, and we did the initial import, and I spent some time trying to understand what's where and how, and the whole experience was lame. it was aggressively confidently pushing its own features (always be upselling!) but the basics were just not there. It's like Microsoft.

We moved to Linear, which is 2 years younger than ClickUp, but it's solid in what it offers.
