I've never seen a JIRA installation that isn't slow as hell.
Project Manager types dont mind JIRA slowness for some reason. Prbly have too much time in their meetings to sit and wait around.

If you think JIRA is slow, you should check out tools like HP Quality Center. That thing was such a piece of garbage the last time I had it foisted on me (2015), it:
- made JIRA look fast
- only ran in IE6
- required a special MSIE shell to run in Win7
- despite running only in IE6/Windows, it had several places where it broke from the standard Windows UX
JIRA is slooooooooooow. I don’t think any fancy integration can fix that slowness if their APIs are just snail slow.
On the other hand JIRA UX and moreso Atlassian UX needs a lot of work. A number of common things take wayyyy too many clicks. It’s hard to discover etc. A good integration can definitely fix that mess.
GitHub knows how to do good simple UX.

Exactly. Jira is horrible developer experience and it occupies a space in the developer workflow where it can create a feeling that the whole project or organization is off the rails.
JIRA can be a decent tool. The issue is the way that 90% of all businesses big and small use it, is just so that managers can shrug off any responsibility for understanding the projects they're managing, and wall themselves off in JIRA bureaucracy.
Engineers have not taken too kindly to it.
