Developers are fantastic at bikeshedding on our tools rather than focusing on (a) what's important to the broader company and (b) what's actually usable to anyone who hasn't spent months learning to use our opinionated optimisations.

Yep, you get a developer invested in something, they'll swear black and blue it's the best thing since sliced bread. Till you explain it to them.

That's talking about me in my younger days. Everything looks exciting, until you realize it's all patterns that have been done before.

Not developers - managers.

I don't use the terrible bug tracker because I chose to, it's not generally enough to make me leave a company!
