> revenue for the past nine months grew from US$1.5 billion to US$2.04 billion ($2.95 billion) (or around 24%). Forgive my math skills at 4:07 in the morning, but isn't that actually 36% growth? > Atlassian’s legacy Jira product ... is no longer loved by developers. As a developer I prefer Jira over every alternative I've tried (Clubhouse, Trello, GitHub Issues, and Monday.com). > users can switch to a competitor product like Asana, Basecamp or Monday.com with minimal cost (other than the initial hassle of switching to a new system). That seems like a pretty big hassle though. My company is way too busy to undertake switching ticketing systems.

> As a developer I prefer Jira over every alternative I've tried (Clubhouse, Trello, GitHub Issues, and Monday.com). I also prefer JIRA, but that doesn't mean I love it. It just so happens to be the only available product with most of the features I need. That being said, its UX is beyond terrible. The moment something else appears that covers some significant portion of its feature set, I can see a lot of people making the switch. I think one of the biggest problems of competitors is to think that JIRA is bad because it's complex. Therefore they position their offerings as a simpler slim down version of JIRA. Big news: it is complex to manage complex projects. JIRA has, I think, the right level of complexity and flexibility to tackle that. If any competitor reads this message: please, go complex!
