Hi folks,

does anybody have an opinion on giving up Jira in favor of GitHub issues?

I am personally more used to a purely GitHub-based workflow and find

Ups of GitHub: 
- the issue management features of GitHub conveniently lightweight and flexible
- the UI reasonably fast

Downs of Jira:
- there are tons of issue types we do not use
- the UI is sluggish
- instead of markdown, a Jira-specific markup language needs to be used
- people cannot access e.g. the changelist report without logging in to Jira

Main differences:
- Jira issues can target multiple versions, GitHub issues can target only a 
single milestone
- In Jira we have one "project", in GitHub, we have one tracker per repo - 
"cross repo" issues would be a thing of the past (maybe a good thing)

Any further input or opinions?

Cheers,

-- Richard
