It integrates well with a lot of other tools, including other products from the Atlassian suite. Plus there are a ton of plugins, including charting tools, screen capture, etc.

Jira is developed and maintained by Atlassian, which is not an unknown venture, especially for developers. Atlassian has a great number of other products used by million of users worldwide, including BitBucket, HipChat, Confluence and Stash.

Pro Very cheap for small teams
Pro Supports version-focused work-flows
JIRA is not a plain long list of tickets, but can be configured to be version-focused, so planning and understanding the progress in a software project becomes clear.
Pro Great reporting tools
Jira offers amazingly powerful reporting tools like activity stream, different graphs of opened and closed issues over time etc...
Pro Templates help save work
Pre-defined templates helps you match your daily workflows.
Pro Great reports
With some filters you can find the best way to find where you need to focus your time and improve your productive
Pro It's not just a simple todo task manager
Helps a lot with complex and cascading workflows.
Pro Captures workflows and SOP's for more than just projects
Project and todo's are such a small part of Pipefy. Example: You can create a 'pipe' to deal with web clippings. Clip them to the 'inbox' and the get triggered to actually do something with them, not just store them. You can have web visible 'start forms' that allow, for example a client to submit a change request and it automatically goes to your pipe connected to your client. It is so powerful and much much more than just a task management program.
Pro Customized processes
Pro Reasonable price
It's only $7.
Cons
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.
