It seems like they're balancing features with speed. In order to get a bunch of extra features, every page load needs to be 200mb of extra crap that 99% of users won't use 99% of their page views.

Oh and hamburger menus are hiding the key features you DO use every page view.

I always thought of Atlassian projects as inheriting all the problems of Java, exposed in UX form.

Its always the people/expertise, rarely the tool or language.

Fair. But for purposes of language = ecosystem, I'd definitely say organizations trend to mimic language structure, and vice versa.

At least to a first order, palm-reading, internet comment approximation. ;)

Modern Java, IBM

C# .NET, Microsoft

React, Facebook

Rust, Mozilla

I'm not sure what's more concerning, that you're calling React a programming language or that you're unaware that Facebook is written in PHP.

I believe you missed the point for the trees. And for the record, I'm under no illusion that Firefox is fully written in Rust either. :p

Why doesn't JIRA offer a native desktop app? Everyone using it is on PC, Mac or Linux right? And then a cut-down iOS (iPhone and iPad) app covers the rest?

A few colleagues use a Visual Studio extension, although that seems to be mostly handy for time-tracking and limited interaction with issues. It's also stuck in a UI that goes back to 2008, so perhaps rather fitting ;)

An Electron wrapper around the web app will do wonders for productivity and RAM utilization.
