The piv UI is horrible. Sometimes it auto-updates, sometimes it doesn't, the whole open/close item metaphor is horrible as it pushes stuff around constantly, the text-areas are way too small, can't edit your own comments, stuff more or less randomly jumps to other tabs when changing status (which may or may not be currently visible)...
Well, that's just what immediately popped into my head, I'm sure there's more if I look again.
Pivotal has easily one of the worst GUIs of any ticket tracker I have used. It's right down there with bugzilla, just in a different, over-ajaxified way.
Pivotal isn't mainly a ticket tracker (although it can function as that too).
It's primarily a sprint planning / user story device. The way it can track sprint velocity and aid immensely with figuring the optimal size of future sprints (as long as your stories are fleshed out and points set for them) is fantastic.
Thank you. Not sure why pivotaltracker is getting so much love here for UI design? It might be a powerful bug tracker tool but for UI it should not be getting mention among some of these other beautiful and functional apps like wufoo.

Argh?
