There are examples to the contrary. CAD products I think are way more complex than this JIRA abomination but are not slow at all. And for what it worth I went from knowing nothing to producing complete design of a relatively complex piece of equipment (main assembly, all individual parts etc in a form accepted by factory) in less than a month using Solidworks. This says something about quality of this piece of software. Out of fun when I had nothing to do I tried to repeat the design in FreeCAD - never fucking again.
So I think the problem is not the amount of features (the more the better). It is just very hard to design proper ergonomic GUI and workflow.
