Can anyone recommend good alternatives to Jira? Things that keep me defaulting to it:

- Scales well from simple configuration and workflows to more complex multiboard views/custom fields/layouts per issue type etc

- Good OOTB integration with common CI/CD - see PRs, deploys etc from each ticket

- Good (adequate?) integration with their wiki in Confluence

- JQL for being able to do custom reporting tooling (get me all issues transitioned to X status in this time period)

Things that frustrate me:

- Complexity/UI around configuration

- Very poor kanban metrics reporting

Seriously, you need a heck of a lot more than a random HN reply to give you Jira alternatives if you've been embedded into its ecosystem for any length of time - and my condolences if you have.

		It's fine, just not stellar. It was terrible (UX, speed, consistency) ten years ago. It's better now - mostly gets out of people's way and just works. It doesn't delight me.

We've switched to Jetbrains Youtrack, it doesn't have as many features, but turns out nobody was using most of them anyway. It's Jira + Confluence bundled together including SSO.

I enjoy youtrack for its simplicity, native markdown support, command pallette, and solid vcs integration. So much bloat and friction with jira.

We (~200 devs) migrated from Jira to Youtrack 10 years ago, and its functionality has been more than enough. Honestly, I don't remember anyone ever seriously complaining about it, aside from maybe a few nitpicks. A very solid product.

		My biggest pet peeve is the lack of sorting and filtering options in tables, especially on wiki. Can't complain about anything else
