Yes.

I've used Jira for years and never understood the hate.

The only times I have had real problems have been with particular idiosyncratic configurations or conventions that someone at my end has put in.

I feel like the classic UI was a massive pain for configuring workflows, fields and other tasks which also fuelled a lot of the hate. But in the new version at least it's much better IMO.

Have you tried the alternatives like YouTrack?

The Jira UX is amongst the worst in the business.

And yet... there it is, on every workplace with an useless operations team.

I'm not saying Jira is great. I'm just surprised that people, particularly ICs, hate it.

Me either, its easy to search through and find 10+ year old tickets with comments and code reviews/TDDs to add context to old code.
