Curious to hear more recent thoughts. Emphasis on large technical teams, dev-friendly, customizable, integration with other apps, etc. But, still useful for non-technical members of the team.

My team tried Basecamp, Glassboard, and InVision (combined) but none of them seemed to be a perfect match. Decided to make our own project management tool, releasing later next month!

We use Basecamp. Frankly, that's the only tool that I've personally tried and I love it so far.

We use JIRA at my office, and I really do not like it for project management. JIRA gets too big and unmanageable way too quickly.

I have not, however, tried JIRA agile, which might be better.

For straight user stories, I love Sprint.ly. However, its feature set is just that: User Stories. It works extremely well, makes sense and is a pleasure to read.

I use Redmine. It's got everything I need from bug tracking to gantt charts.

Absolutely hated Basecamp (though that might be more because of the incompetence of the team that I was working with). Been using Trello for a couple of months now, and I'm loving it. Granted, I'm one of a two-person team, but I feel like Trello could work for projects of any size.
