Why Basecamp lasted

  • It is the product of a company that treats not growing as a feature.
  • The same people still write the software. That is rarer than any framework they shipped.

Why Jira lasted

  • Enterprises do not migrate issue trackers. They hire admins.
  • The workflow engine is a trap and a moat. Once your process lives there, it is a fossil layer.
