What I like most about Confluence is that it centralizes all of our project documentation and technical specs in one place, so everything is easy to find and reference. It also integrates seamlessly with Jira, which makes it straightforward to link requirements directly to tickets and follow development progress. On top of that, the real-time collaborative editing is a big plus—it’s much easier for the team to brainstorm together and keep documentation current without running into version-control headaches.

The search functionality can be incredibly frustrating. Even when you search for the exact title of a page, the algorithm often ranks older, archived documents or unrelated team spaces higher than what you actually need, forcing you to rely heavily on direct links.

Additionally, the page editor can feel a bit sluggish and clunky when working with massive, media-heavy documents or complex nested tables. The markdown support is also a bit finicky; it doesn't always translate perfectly from standard IDE markdown shortcuts, which adds minor friction when developers try to quickly copy and paste documentation from their code repositories.
