Totally killer feature. I spent about 4 months trimming down JIRA to a custom workflow that matched what we used in Fogbugz for a decade. I now have a simple workflow for very basic projects that spins up a trello-ish kanban, and for heavier stuff I can switch the workflow to our full grade setup. JIRA recently has included JIRA Agile with the Trello/Kanban right into the project, and it isn't half bad.
I used FogBugz for almost a decade until the most complex projects I was working on dragged me into JIRA. I miss FogBugz' email first interface.
My Current stack is JIRA/Confluence on demand, the integration in the WIKI is simply too good to overlook. For product roadmapping I use Aha.io integrated into JIRA.. it's so far a more capable product than JIRA Portfolio, JIRA portfolio doesn't go high level enough. Harvest in the mix for easy time tracking.
The investment of time in integrating projects between Aha and JIRA so far has been a big payoff. We can literally start noodling with ideas high level, and as soon as those ideas cross the line into an epic, we have the sprint ready to go and automatically created in JIRA.
While it wasn't as smooth, the incredible detail we can manage things that need it, while leaving other simple items to hop through the steps that aren't needed was invaluable.
