And there is the on prem and cloud versions. And they are not feature matched.

One of these days I want to look into setting up Phabricator.

I moved my small team to phabricator after a couple years of using GitHub and Asana. We all loved phabricator from previous companies.

Not only was it really easy to set up, but I think we all enjoy our tools a lot more now too. I still contend that phabricator rules the code review world: nothing else is as good. The projects feature feels just as good as Asana but without the slowness.

We do still use GitHub just as a dumb master (phabricator imports from it), but I’ll likely invert that soon enough to use GitHub as a mirror.

Interesting, as I have the inverse experience with Phabricator (and the related tools in that ecosystem like arcanist). I don't like it, and nobody else seems to like it.

This is my daily nightmare. We’re building a competitor to Jira [0] so naturally we want to allow people to import their issues from Jira into our tool. Integrating to Jira cloud is a reasonably good experience. But Jira server? Total chaos. We needed to dig up an ancient OAuth1 implemention just to get users authenticated and it didn’t get any better from there.
