I've got exactly the same experience: it takes weeks to do a minor adjustment to task flow due to administration overhead but people still say it's super configurable. What difference does this power make if you cannot exercise it?!

None. I think like everything IBM, Microsoft, and now Atlassian, no-one ever lost their job by using Jira.

i.e. the masses have formed an opinion, Jira won't get you fired. Something else will, so if in doubt, use Jira.

Lot of people in doubt out there.

Good point.

It's a defensive behavior and in a low trust culture one would be more concerned about choosing something good enough rather than risk experimenting with a new but unproven tool.

Well said.

Indeed. I find that the vast majority of the time, their UX actually gets in the way of the power and configurability. Moreover, many things are overly complex, in the sense that you don't get anything back for the complexity introduced.
