We've evaluated FogBugz against Jira many times over the last few years, and time tracking has always been a showstopper for us. In Jira you can click on a task, enter 1h30m and that time will be logged on the task immediately.

In Fogbugz I have to invent a start time and a stop time, which is really unintuitive and tedious.

We don't work on a task one by one in an orderly fashion. We prefer to get a bunch of work done and then log time for that day against the various tasks. Maybe we're doing it wrong, but I'm not going to be able to make 17 consultants change their way of working to something more tedious and less user friendly. Only the amount of time spent on a task is important, not what time of day it was actually done.

Acually, in a filter list the Estimate (current) column has this exact functionality. You can click on the current estimate, enter 3h in the popup and the estimate will immediately be updated. I'd like to log work the same way.

You don't have to invent start/stop times. Entering time worked is not quite as quick as clicking on the task and entering a time, but if you click on a case in FogBugz and select edit, you will then see an edit box for entering time spent on the case.

Seems that box is only visible when there is an estimation for that case. – Uwe Raabe Jul 1 at 16:26

Right, I don't believe you can log time towards a case unless it has a time estimate associated with it. – Chris Taylor Jul 1 at 17:16
