I could not disagree more with Atlassian. They are among the best software i have ever used. Especially bitbucket is superb. Confluence is by far the best wiki I have ever used. Jira is 10x better than any alternative I'm aware of.

Bitbucket is an acquisition that was decent before the takeover. Jira: How hard can we make it to manage bugs? Jama: How hard can we make it to navigate the document tree?

I think Confluence and Bitbucket work well enough. I hate Jira with a passion though.

That doesn't mean the tools are not terrible, which they undoubtedly are.

No, it does mean exactly this for me. For me they are not only undoubtedly great, but among the best software i have ever used.

But then again, I also love git. Maybe we have different ideas how software should and shouldn't be.

/edit: For clarity: Microsoft Office and SAP are how I think enterprise software should not be. And Atlassian is kind of the opposite.
