Atlassian's Trello redesign may be 'worst in tech history'

Atlassian's recent Trello redesign has sparked massive user backlash, with customers calling it one of the worst tech updates in history, comparing it to Windows 8. The May 2025 update changed layouts, fonts, and removed features like card comments, prompting nearly 200 complaint posts on community forums. Users suspect Atlassian is deliberately degrading Trello to push customers toward their more expensive Jira platform, as the company now suggests Jira as a Trello alternative and has stated they're changing Trello into an entirely different product.
