It's a little like products that brands themselves as a "Jira replacement". Yes, you got the basic functionality down, but so does a hundred other projects. You're not really dealing with the hard problems or the advanced features. Maybe in the future yes, but a replacement... a potential future replacement maybe.

Tbf Jira's "hard problems" are really things that shouldn't be done in the first place, like the insane configurability. Just ends up in a mess.

The problem with Jira is that it's enterprise software that's put in place by people that don't actually have to use it.
