“(no preemptive response to "Jira is too complex" -- the #1 objection)”
Every Jira competitor's homepage says "simpler than Jira." If Jira's own page doesn't address this, the visitor mentally confirms the narrative. The silence becomes agreement.
“Add a proof element in the hero zone: "New simplified views ship in 2026 -- same power, half the clicks. See what changed →"”
Acknowledges the criticism implicitly (half the clicks = we know there were too many), names the improvement, and links to proof. Turns the objection into a feature announcement.
