I feel no.
There are three important things in a task item.
1. Title/Summary
2. Description
3. And all the pile of attributes. Assignee, date, created by, Link, severity, attachments, etc etc.
99% of the time, what a small project needs is just the title & description.
In the current project, 80% of the task's context/meaning is understood just with the title.
Only if something needs elaboration, they will go to check Description.
Now how the new version Jira shows me the screen is, (COLUMN-wise Vertical space, LEFT to RIGHT)
5:5:60:30
5% the standard full-time menu - On the extreme Left.
5% the titles, the List of items' titles.
60% on the Description for the currently selected item title (Big empty space @ the middle)
30% significant space occupied by attributes that are not used, For the selected item (Extreme right )
In the 5% vertical space I for the TITLES, I can only see 3 items at a time.
Just imagine. I have close to 160 items created.
And I have a tiny window of 3 items visibility per scroll.
I feel like ditching JIRA and running back to a spreadsheet.

GitHub’s my favourite - but for on-premises, Redmine has been good for us. Jira is too ‘enterprise’ for me.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I just use a text file, which is included in the project (and compiled into the exe, along with the mod history).
Date, type, description - that's all I need.
Simple, and works for me - but I'm a one-man band, so that's fine. For a multi-developer startup (or even a startup with a separate QA dept) I'd want more traceability and multiuser access.
JIRA is a bit on teh heavy-duty side unless you are part of a massive team IMHO though.

I've worked with Jira before and it worked well for us.
Enter a title and description and go.
There's a lot of bloat in the interface though and I'm not familiar enough with Jira to know if or how it can be reduced.
I know cards and boards are customizable though so I'm guessing you can make it work for you.
GitHub is pretty good as well.
And I've heard good things about GitLab although I haven't used their ticketing system all that much.
I've used Azure DevOps for ticketing as well, but only because it was already there (we used Scrum, but they have Kanban as well).
The real power of GitHub, GitLab and DevOps is not their ticketing though, but their overall package of (Git) source control, ticketing and CI/CD pipelines.
You might be better off with a simple Kanban board, such as Trello.
You can use Trello for anything because it's just a board, simple.

I think JIRA is too demanding for simple usage (when self-hosted)
Here are some alternatives: jira-alternatives[^]
Where I work I have to reset the JIRA server almost every day because it runs out of memory.

I know you just want to rant, but if all you care about most of the time is the issues title, use the backlog view instead of the sprint/kanban board views.
On my 15" laptop screen it's ~5-25% left hand UI (collapsed vs expanded), with the remainder a list of issues titles (as much as there is room to fit) with minimum metadata (type icon, epic if any, issue number, priority icon). Non-scrolling page header  is about 20-25% vertical space, below that is space for 15 issues. On my main (1920x1200) screen there's room for ~25 issues at a time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

JIRA — ImgBB[^]
JIRA2 — ImgBB[^]
I now see at the bottom we have "View all filters", Through which we can get to the list view.
But it's crazy. The whole UI navigation is a mess.
I don't think JIRA has a worthy UX team.

They obviously practice BDD, (![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) Driven Development) and have a lot of it on tap.

As a founding member of a startup, one of the first things written (started in 2001) was a web-based project management/customer management/bug tracking system. It's worked quite well for us.
I understand it seems like reinventing the wheel, but it becomes your wheel and instead of ranting about how bad it is, you just fix it yourself. Anything is better than a spreadsheet.

I just found a bug that is beyond strange (unless I am missing something obvious) :
float CStat::GetTotal() const
{
return m_fValue1 + m_fValue2 + m_fValue3 + m_fValue4, + m_fValue5;
}
Note the ',' comma before the
, + m_fValue5;
Visual C++ 2015 compiles this without errors. The return value is always 0 because m_fValue5 100% is zero but m_fValue1 through m_fValue3 are populated. This function returns 0 always.
Does this returns m_fValue5 always? Apparently the syntax is legal

The syntax is commonly used in for loops where you want to, say, increment two variables typically two indexes, or stepping two linked lists) before the next iteration.

For me the syntax is used to make the code unreadable

LOL, i'm guilty of using it in for loops sometimes.

You'll be burned anyway, so what's the point? 
And yes of course, I do not know / use the syntax and therefore most probably my negative attitude for it ...

It lets you declare multiple variables of the same type in a single statement.
int i=0,ic=10;
It's useful primarily for for() loops when you need multiple variable inits

Yeah, can also remember using it to save that extra effort of typing "curlies" after say an if () or while () or ...
- do everything in a single statement
- save wear and tear on the <shift> keys
- readability phhht, that's only for other people anyway. (Me: I can read my own mind!)
... Anyway I write code correct & bug-free first time, why does it need to be [re]readable?
