Funny enough I've long thought about building achievements into an issue tracker like JIRA, like since 3 years ago, but clearly I'm too lazy or I would have done it first.

Anyhow, even though JIRA is incredibly well made software I still tend to dislike it on a daily basis. Achievements might make it little more palatable, but that still doesn't fix the overall feel of JIRA for me.

It's shiny, but it's also bloated with features that I don't care about and some things that are there seem half baked (like time tracking if you need it).

Someone else mentioned it already, but JIRA seemed to have been made for management to look at pretty pie charts and graphs that ultimately don't mean a whole lot if your developers are more pissed at it and don't really use it other than the bare minimum.
