Trello's constraint-driven simplicity is still what people like about it — long-time users call it their default and credit its limits for keeping boards from turning into the mess Jira becomes. The counter-current is that it has grown heavier over the years and now feels bloated next to leaner or self-hostable kanban tools, with a persistent worry about where Atlassian takes it next.
