I find it amusing that someone thinks Github moves slow in comparison to Atlassian.

I feel like about 30% of all Github features have been released since the last major point release of Jira and Confluence, which themselves were buggy, poorly tested, crud as well.

How does Atlassian move "fast"? Has Atlassian done.... anything worth noting in the past 3 years?

Atlassian is a bootstrapped enterprise software company. That alone should earn them a lot of respect.

I think that Atlassian's pace matches their customer's wishes. I believe that Bitbucket is more or less on ice, functions as a free GitHub for private repos, and provides an outlet for Atlassian to try to convert people into enterprise clients, and I think this is their intention for Trello too.

Enterprise clients do _not_ like rapid change, so I think that JIRA/Atlassian is on track. In the last 3 years, JIRA has integrated GreenHopper as JIRA Agile, and I don't know what/if anything else they've done, but I don't follow JIRA closely.
