back

No. I was adjusting a classic quote about something that is decried as awful and no one wants to do... except all the other alternatives are worse.

It's not so much that people want to use Jira... or that they're forced to use it... but rather that people try using some other system and despite how much they dislike Jira, that other one has bigger failings.

Could go for a Bjarne Stroustrup quote with a twist:

> There are only two kinds of issue trackers: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

... but I like the Churchill quote.

Go through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_s... and after a year they'll be begging to go back to Jira... not because its great, but because the other tool lacks some necessary feature that Jira provides. Jira does everything that everyone wants, and it's awful... but everything else is worse.
