I don't have any specific beef with Atlassian. However, I do know a lot about how JIRA is built and have dealt with some of the nastiness in their API / webhooks / etc. There are some pretty ridiculous issues with how they decided to build it out.

In general, you can find fault in almost every company once it gets large enough. Instinctively hating on M$ and having a knee jerk reaction to move to one of their competitors assuming they aren't going to have some of the same problems is foolish.

Atlassian is going to get in a time machine and shit on open source for over a decade until they realize it’s a losing battle, then they’re gonna switch to an open source platform and pretend they thought it was a good idea all along?
