>Right. The idea that Jira has been replaced made me laugh.
It shouldn't though. Jira wasn't always here, and it wont be here forever.
And what's even more important, and is the point of the post, trends don't stay the same, whether a tool still maintains its existing userbase or even increases it.
In a changing market, a tool might hold or even increase its userbase, but still end up with much smaller marketshare.
If we add qualitative considerations too, then it's also very possible a tool to remain dominant even in market share, but still lose mindshare (and eventually be dropped by the next gen of developers).
Tons of people and companies use Visual Basic too, but it's not where things are happening (or what one should study to get a job in 2021).
