I've used Jira in my last 3 jobs. I tried to like it, I tried to tolerate it, now I just try to spend as little time using it as possible.
I'm an engineer, I'm a problem solver. I want to add a task, move task to "doing" and then "done" and that's it. But Jira is not created for me. Jira is created for SAFe expert who wants to create workflow so complex nobody understands it. Jira is created for Scrum master who wants to create 25 reports to show their boss how beautifully our burndown looks sprint after sprint. Yes, Jira doesn't force anyone to do this stuff, but it enables it, because Jira is created for process managers, for people who just report things.
But that's not me. Jira is not for me and the best I can do it to use it as little as possible.
