Actually, I'd avoid Atlassian products in general. Not because they aren't open source. That's certainly a minus, but the elephant in the room is that they are complicated and time-consuming to use. Plus, I have yet to see a single organisation that is able to set up a Jira workflow that is actually appropriate for what people were trying to do with it. I attribute this to the fact that Atlassian, like any commercial software vendor, cannot sell to developers but sells to management, and this skews its capabilities towards what managers want rather than what developers want. I believe this is actually one of the major points why commercial software tends to suck for us developers, and FOSS is much more fun to work with :-D
