> The whole "I hate Jira thing" is a meme among a very vocal minority of tech enthusiasts.
It absolutely isn't. My colleagues are not very vocal tech enthusiasts and they hate it too.

They have tens of millions of users because Jira isn't awful for the people paying for it. But those people aren't actually using it to create & read bugs. They're looking at pretty burndown charts and marveling at the number of features it has.
It's classic enterprise software - it doesn't need to be good because it isn't sold to people actually using it.
