I really don't have the hatred for these Confluence products that most around here seem to have. Sure, there's some quirkiness in writing in the Confluence WIKI, especially now that there's also no behind the scenes confluence-based markdown mode, like we used to have.
And regarding JIRA, I'm guessing it's because more people around here are working on small single focused teams, or early stage startups, and don't really appreciate the power of JIRA to orchestrate delivering complex features that span multiple different groups at an org. At a base level, creating simple JIRA task tickets for a single teams scrum is just so damn easy, and devs looking at their assigned work for the sprint, is pretty easy. And it basically integrates with all the tools devs use, from Emacs to Slack, etc....
I'm really not sure what alternatives people are into? Also, these current tools are such a huge step forward from what we used to use a decade ago...
