Fer werk, Jira is best. It's got horrendous plugins, like an app store for cracvk addicts. It's use of the DB, is on par with kindergarteners. But it's awesome top down, bottom up, both in and side ways. It's only a tool, no different than the bone from 2001 - A Space Odessey. You can pretty much do anything with it, and it's about as elastic as an app can get. Maybe vim, or maybe notepad, or maybe MS Project, or maybe an Oracle DB, or maybe' Jesus. But one thing that does stand out is developers don't want to be held on by the crutches of anything that takes away from the developer flow, where 80% is sifting through hn, and the other 20% programming. Anything thrown into that equation just messes up the balance, tools will always be hated. But tools used will always be loved. You value your time, use a moleskin, skip a page, draw 7 lines, and each day write down what you have to do for work, for yourself, and for others, move things down everyday that you dont finish, make themactionable. Remember that first page we skipped, create an index, it's the most important page of your life. So make sure to keep it handy, Jira was loosely trying to solve this problem for everyone, it's become a monster -phun intended. Raptor Jesus! Arghhh-
