Atlassian, and JIRA specifically, are responsible for so much wasted time and capital expenditure. If I could get ahold of metrics like "hours spent building, using, and maintaining JIRA" versus "value obtained from JIRA" for each of the companies I've worked at, I'm pretty sure I could generate a report so scathing that nobody would ever use it again.

Gatekeeping your work organization system from the people working on, and often MANAGING it is such a huge friction point I'm amazed they ever got clientele. I'm an Admin on a project right now and I can't change our status types without going through our assigned Atlassian rep.

And don't even get me started on the dumpster fire that is BitBucket. Ever tried to use the API? it's somehow even more worthless than the UI.
