  - can't relayout without touching every file
  - tablebased & hardcoded styles
  - rarely id or class attributes. no chance to css it

  - I can't setup my own view of issues. I *think* that's my biggest gripe.

  - test it out for a day or two and you'll know why :). Adding new entries to mantis takes way too much time.
  - ah ok, not that mantis is a bad product, I used it for over 2 years. It's just the interface is too slow and needs a new look.

  - #mantisbt is a good bug tracker, but he has an old layout, long development cycles and a complicated administration at file level.

  - Well, mantisbt is good enough, unless you need to ldap auth, sso, or use the soap api. Oh, you just can't re-style.

  - The design is very "oldschool" and I think it's actually ugly, so no good feeling while working with it, you know?

  - Mantis customization only via config files, e.g. custom workflows
  - little or clunky support for agile development.
  - Jira has better overview of coming versions, better API, dated UI, file upload is better, Jira Connect.
