Hi fellow OpenStackers,
The subject is the question I am posing. The general recommendation is to use Storyboard for new projects [1]. However, Storyboard does not seem to be receiving enough love recently [2] [3]. It's generally deemed as slow [4] and is missing quite a few usability enhancements [2]. Considering the alternative, and the actual previous recommendation, is Launchpad, I find it no-brainer to revert to recommending Launchpad still, even paving a way for projects wishing to escape the Storyboard nightmare. :-)
Don't get me wrong, I really like the Story/Task orientation but Storyboard results in a frustrating experience. In addition to being slow, it has issues with search/filter, sorting and pagination which make issue browsing an utter pain. I know Launchpad is not without issues but it's certainly a much better platform at the moment. And many projects are still there.
The Launchpad-Storyboard split is also introducing confusion for users [5] and coordinability issues for teams as we need to cross-link manually to get proper visibility.
All in all, I ask you to consider recommending Launchpad again and encourage OpenStack projects to move to Launchpad.
Extra note: I find it in a similar spot as ask.o.o - nice it has been tried, but unfortunately it did not stand the test of time.
