Indeed.  The only one I've got extensive experience with is Bugzilla
(because Red Hat uses it) and I do cordially hate it.  At least some
of that is due to bureaucratic practices RH has evolved, like cloning
bugs N times for N affected releases, but I think the tool encourages
such things.  So when I read Andrew's recent suggestion that we use
Bugzilla, my immediate reaction was "egad, can't we do better?".
Maybe we can't :-(.
