You can restrict the values in this field to only be valid users with the "restrict_owner" field in the trac.ini file so that tickets can only be assigned to existing users. > My initial reaction to that is what does Trac really bring me?

You ended with a troll, but I'll bite. My guess here is that you did not try using Trac for what it was intended. This is a tool intended to be a core part of the development process, not just a wiki or ticketing system. And especially not just another bug tracking tool. The powerful part of Trac is that it has a wiki, tickets, milestones, and repository integration all in one application. This allows you (as a developer) to create links between all these components, and really comes in useful for having conversations about issues in tickets or wiki pages, and then referencing those when making the relevant code changes. And vice versa... including multiple repository changes within a ticket that is linked, so you can look at the specific code changes to fix a bug or add a feature. It seems simple, but until you use it on your project, you don't realize how much visibility it gives you into what is going on.
