> Developing software for 30+ years.

Cool. Similar over here, though admittedly not with source control or bug trackers for that long. :)

I think I see where you are coming from. But Jira's cost (efficiency, complexity, confusion about how to use them, etc) for all these integrations is tremendous. It is easily to make a tremendously better user experience over Jira, even with a pile of integrations.

And yes, I understand that building software for enterprises can be demoralizingly painful and frustrating. To paraphrase another quote, I like everything about enterprise software except the enterprise part. I find the general claimed philosophy of "we are risk averse" often is insincere, a rationalization for inefficiency, and a confusion about what risk means over different time scales. Sure, constant churn is risky. But falling into a pattern of not trying new things inevitably leads to stagnation. Better to have some failures than never to try.
