- names of tags on cards, card id's for referencing from git commits, smarter use of screen estate. Everyone I work with uses at least a couple of plugins.
- Not when you move them from board to board
- But that's not linking a commit, that's linking to github. In JIRA I had full integration and even auto linking of commits to issues. You give a repo url and the rest is easy.
- I recall (can't test this) that moving a card is not logged. I think that's pretty basic functionality and it helps in asynchronous communication.
- card urls are not stable over different boards.
- moving cards over columns.
- Yes, but I cannot nest cards. Simple divide and conquer strategy will scatter takes over many cards. To-do lists are not sufficient.
- seems like a nasty ui decision, dragging with scrolling.
- No, in the description. But the pre has no word wrap and the pop-up only takes a quarter of the width of my screen (without browser plugin)
- large smilies on cards for example, or whatever these things are.
- I'm absolutely sure I saw advertisement in a card. Maybe it was caused by a browser plugin?
I've used many task management systems. I understand the appeal of Trello. For me, it is just not sophisticated enough and misses essentials.
> I recall (can't test this) that moving a card is not logged.
Moves between boards and lists are logged. Moves up and down a list are logged, but not shown in the UI (only visible via the api). All moves were shown at one point, but it was just way too noisy.
> card urls are not stable over different boards.
That's still not true.
> moving cards over columns.
The card moves physically each time and each move appears in the log.

Trello suggests turning on a power-up if it looks like it would help (like github power-up if you attach a github link). "Advertisement" seems like a strong word here?
Actually, it seems changes in descriptions are not logged. Even though I normally would not want to see this, it sometimes comes in handy. Just a simple line: "Edited: John Doe, 2017-02-22".
Well, suggesting to turn on power-ups on each and every card, styled in a way as if it is part of the card.
W.r.t. moving cards over column: if I move a card from A to B and the move is not synchronised (because of lag or a Trello Server outage), a co-worker might move the card as well (say, from to-do to in-progress). Once the situation stabilises, there is (or was, the last time I noticed this issue) no visual feedback of this situation. It's a minor annoyance, but I've noticed that the 'eventually consistent' UI makes it possible that inconsistent states are reached.
- Cards do have stable URLs. Not sure why you think they don't.
- A Github url to a commit will link to that URL. Powerups can be used if you want tighter integration.
- Very few people actually need this. If you do, then you need a fully auditable system.
- Copy paste the card URL. Again, card URLs are stable and Trello will detect that it's a card URL.
- There are fairly extensive keyboard shortcuts: https://trello.com/shortcuts
- Such as?
- Boards -> Lists -> Cards -> Description/Comments/Check Lists/Polls/etc. At least 4 levels.
- Is this a prediction??
- Sounds like a Firefox problem.
- Are you putting logs in the titles of the cards?
- Such as?
- Haven't ever seen an ad in a card.
It sounds like you set out with the intention of not liking it and found (or made up?) reasons.
