I agree that the tooling is very underrated! It’s strange that programmers spend so much effort choosing their code writing environment (IDE, etc) but just take what they’re given when it comes to code reviewing (mostly GitHub PRs)

If you’re missing Critique, allow me to shamelessly plug CodeApprove: https://codeapprove.com

Just like Critique, it’s a code review tool for power users that really lets you focus on resolving every discussion.

Well, you can decide more or less by yourself what tools you use for writing code, but the code review tool is something everyone needs to agree upon (and then convince management to change), so of course it has more inertia. I'd love to use something else than Jira for issue tracking too, but if the whole company uses it...

What would you go with instead of Jira? At a small startup here so there's still hope

Thanks! Will definitely have a look!
