I upvoted your comment because I believe it's a perfect example of what I was trying to point out: it is impossible to please everyone with a company-wide project management tool, but the fact remains that it is a necessity.

For all the people bitching about how Jira makes it hard to work like they want to work, their are folks like you who will complain that Jira makes it to easy to get around a company-wide standard.

To emphasize, I'm not saying either side is right or wrong, I'm just saying it's impossible to build a project management tool where large subsets of people won't complain about the exact same set of features that another subset of stakeholders likes.
