The key is jira and most atlassian products are feature mountains to be sold to upper management, but I can think of no end-user person that likes to deal with it on a daily basis. Then someone in the vein of slack or Asana comes around and eats atlassians lunch because they’ve neglected making the product good for anyone other than executives.

1) End users are not the buyer. It's the Head of Delivery, Iteration Managers, Agile Consultants etc that are. For them JIRA is great because it's heavily customisable and scales across the enterprise. It's actually quite hard to balance this with a great end user experience.
2) They are in the middle of a complete UI rewrite and I've only briefly used it but it's definitely much better than the previous versions. I imagine the Trello acquisition is also going to help them here.

I actually use Jira, Bitbucket and Confluence (all Server versiob) in a small team (maybe 5 people) and I really enjoy it. It‘s good in what it does, it does the things you want it to do and the 3 tools are good integrated.
For my other team members, they enjoy Confluence more than Jira, because Jira feels a bit difficult.
