JIRA is the medium that cranky devs interact with disinterested managers. It's just a vessel for data and metadata. And as far as I'm concerned it's one of the best at doing what it does. There's no tool I prefer to JIRA. Asana is a joke by comparison. TFS is just Bad JIRA. Issue trackers like Trello or GitHub issues are fine for creating a dumping ground for ideas but not for organizing.

If you can get away with less structure than JIRA affords then congratulations for not having a budget or timeline but the rest of us need some deniability. Every other problem in the world of software projects is human and can't be solved with tickets.

There’s an argument that you should use an issue tracking system for tracking issues and not planning. Features and stories don’t necessarily neatly subdivide into tasks and issues. Issues don’t always neatly fit into a story or feature.
