If I hadn't decided to move to JIRA I'd still be saying Atlassian sucks because of the lackluster Bitbucket issue system. It was my biggest complaint because I was being cheap and not wanting to spend the amount of money I spend on a day's lunch to get a better tool.

JIRA does feel clunky, but after spending the time configuring it, I find it helps me more than getting in the way. I've tried a number of other tools, especially for Agile development, and I ended up feeling like our team would need multiple told to get things done. By trying JIRA out on work projects and personal ones, I'm now a bit more productive, and my team is getting there too.

The price felt a bit 'steep' after the 10 users, but I've convinced my company that the price per user is nothing as it's how much we bill our clients for a few minutes if our time.

The listing makes sense, they've been profitable for a long time, and should have a possibly sustainable share considering EPS and other requirements of shareholders.
