How is it different from all the other open-source issue trackers and project managers? Taiga.io, Open project, Focalboard, Redmine, etc

Those don't market themselves as similar to Jira, but that's not exactly a feature, so what are the differences in practice?

Hey, Our philosophy behind Plane is based on the concept of "Tasks meets Method." We have specifically designed this product to accommodate various project management practices such as Agile or Waterfall, allowing you to seamlessly implement the framework of your choice. The core idea behind Plane is to provide a solution that is both simple to use and highly extensible. Unlike other tools such as Focalboard, which solely focuses on Kanban, or Taiga, which strictly adheres to Agile principles, and Redmine, which serves as a more general project management tool, Plane aims to offer a versatile platform that combines simplicity with flexibility.

It's hard to parse this marketing speak, you are better at specific frameworks than the mono-framework tools, and a better general tool than general tools? But specifically, how?
