Judging solely by the UI, I actually kinda like Atlassian's tools, but they're a huge pain in the ass to get working with privacy extensions installed (uMatrix, uBlock, etc.). They make cross-site requests all over the place (to weird servers like "some-huge-name-that-obscures-the-host-name.atl-pass.net", and even some third party servers!), tons of Javascript and css for basic features, etc. Using dubious features like referer headers seems right up their alley.
It's one of the main reasons I only use them at work, and won't use them for my personal projects. I'd rather pay for GitHub and Sourcehut so I don't feel like I'm opening my browser up to a bunch of security problems.
In the past they've also made some really brain dead (IMO) decisions like going out of the way to break middle-click paste on Linux.

If you like this, you should try Microsoft. They combine this crap with endless redirects. Usually, I give up after 5 minutes whitelisting + redirects.
