Graphite
I'm a little biased, but the way I like to put it to people is "I work at Graphite because I would absolutely need it if I worked anywhere else." I'm quite happy I've never worked anywhere without this kind of tooling, because without it, software engineering would be nowhere near as fun or productive.

hmm, we set it up, but it's always hard to remember to default to using it instead of just using slack. I am not sure what I need to do to make it more core to our CX workflow (I am an engineer who tends do a decent amount of cx)

our team uses it but as we've gotten more busy it ends up just being used as a trash can for stuff no one is working on...
I'm gonna keep using it cause I like the UI, but too often there are things I have to go to google cal web for. I like the notion integration though, google cal by default only treats gdocs specially

it's great as a user, as an engineer dealing with their aggressive tab-freezing policy was a little extra work, but we figured it out! the killer feature for me is splits — I use an ultrawide monitor and it makes my life amazing
