Wow, rough crowd.

I like the interface. It's like a mix between Jira and Trello. More focused than Jira, with more structure than Trello.

I don't really like Jira because of its kitchen sink approach. It tries to be everything to everybody with endless customization and options. It gives fifty ways to do everything and there's a different way to do any particular thing on every single page. As a developer, it annoys the hell out of me by making me spend way more time than I want to navigating through project management software. Not having all of the features of Jira isn't necessarily a bad thing, IMO.

I'm not sure what people are expecting when they say the site doesn't feel "polished enough." It works fine for me, and is as polished as any web app, AFAICT.

On the negative side, I think I get what you're saying about the pricing, but it is a little confusing. One idea would be to make it free for personal projects, but charge for collaboration, similar to how BitBucket does it.

Thanks. I think you nailed exactly what we're trying to do in your second paragraph, but the trouble is we have had a hard time walking people through the product. And yes, very rough crowd
