I've used it quite a lot in Europe - specifically for walking directions in cities. I prefer Apple Maps for walking directions, especially paired with the watch - the data is good and the UX with the watch is excellent.
I'm on the same page as you, I don't love Jira either, it's not something I think about in the conversation of "software/services I enjoy using" - but I think it's _fine_.
Jira cloud in our organisation is also reasonably fast, the front end can be a bit janky sometimes, but overall considering the complexity of the application, it's not too bad.
