Cons
Con Some basic features not free
It costs to use features like changing the background manually.
Con Can't be customized
There are no customization options. Existing items can't be turned off.
Con 4K images not available
When accessed from a 4K display, the images will be bad quality.
Con Can't add bookmarks
You can't add bookmarks to it
Con New releases often change the GUI largely
Sometimes the usage becomes worse, e.g. when creating a new ticket, you need to click the notification to keep it on the display.
Con Locks you inside its own ecosystem
If you use Jira you are pretty much locked inside their ecosystem. For example, if you want to add a tool to your project management stack (like a wiki) more often than not you will have to buy one of Atlassian's tools.
Con Client application support
No free client applications; IDE connector development was discontinued. Users are effectively locked into using web interface which requires context-switching.
