— Our review
Linear set the bar for how software tools should feel: sub-100ms interactions, keyboard shortcuts for everything, zero dead clicks.
The opinionated workflow (triage → cycles → projects) nudges teams toward shipping, not managing. After two weeks, Jira feels like walking through mud.
Worth the price for any team of 5+ builders.
