The recent redesign of Atlassian's Trello project management tool, released on May 22, 2025, has triggered widespread criticism among users. The update significantly altered interface elements, layout, fonts, and button functions, leading to the removal of important features like card commenting. A community forum saw nearly 200 posts complaining about the changes, with users likening the redesign to historical failures in tech. Critics argue that it may be one of the worst updates ever, comparing it unfavorably to prior software redesigns that faced backlash.
'People are comparing this to the worst software updates in history,' the post says. 'One user said, 'This is the worst UI update I've ever seen, including Windows 8.' If you're being measured against Windows 8, that should say something.'
Atlassian customer Stephen Wilson wrote, 'This update is arguably one of the worst in the past five years, and possibly in tech history, which is quite disappointing.'
