Our org uses both Jira Server & Confluence Server - and I’m fairly sure this will make us move away from Atlassian’s products.

The split between cloud and server offerings is partly to blame here.

My thoughts go out to the businesses that have built plugins for Jira and had to endure the variances between cloud and server, or worse, only catered for the server market.

The group at tempo timesheets[1] particularly come to mind here.

Thinking ahead - I’m hoping that an org like GitLab (who have got their Saas v On-Prem offerings balance right) is able to keep building on and catering for this space.

Their planning features are not there yet, but there’s a great group of people with oodles of traction and a roadmap that aligns with this problem space[2].

That's not really an option for organizations whose main product isn't code, no?

Yeah, Jira is the standard issue tracker precisely because it works on all levels of the organization, not just the "code monkey" ones.

We (GitLab) have strong planning features but are missing workflow enforcement. GitLab also has a wiki but it is less user friendly than Confluence.

What we mainly need is cheap/free non-coding users. I'm really not comfortable paying for a gitlab seat per support staff we hire.

Thanks for the thought, I have forwarded it into an issue discussing a similar topic on issue management for specific groups not counting towards the license limit: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/2105#note_4326...
