GitHub Projects or Trello? What is your thing?

As you most probably know, GitHub has now the feature called Projects which is pretty much a competitor to Trello boards, from the first glance. I'd like to ask the DEV community which one do you prefer to use for managing your projects and why? What benefits one of them has over another one?
Thank you for your opinions and have a productive week!

Perhaps try gitkraken ? For those having issues tracking multiple repositories with git projects, I had a look at it today, really nice I admit. Much like trello only this time issues sync in real time. So you'd add, assign, close etc and it would be reflecting immediately with the repo

Working alone: KanbanFlow - because it has a pomodoro timer.
Working with people: Trello - because everyone knows it and it has apps for all platforms.

Personally I think working with boards has its own limitations. I prefer a list and a board together to manage my project. As one of the users commented below, I've been using quire.io for a while and it really does help me with all of my projects. Actually I've known Quire because of a previous post on dev.to talking about how powerful Quire is.

I use Trello. I just like having a place to create a new board whenever I have a project idea even if there is no repo for it yet.

I got the idea from this article.

I do the same for my ideas actually, Trello really helps here, it's easy and convenient. Thank you for your opinion!

I implemented Trello in my Team and everyone loved it. The simplicity and ease of use was its plus. But when you look from a Project Manager's or a Team lead's perspective who has to keep a track of each team member and each project, It was a bit tedious to achieve it in Trello. This is when we shifted to Clickup. clickup.com/ Has everything we need, boards, lists, Team overview, projects overview. Overall a very good alternative.

Github Projects is awesome 🤞. I shifted my workflow from trello to projects long ago.

The advantage is that your code and workflow will stay in one place. Also it's integration with github issues is just mind blowing 🤯.

I prefer Trello over Github Projects.
Its easy to use. The best part is Trello has their android app and it becomes very easy and handy to update and check my todos, cards and everything

In my organisation, we use CA Agile central for managing the process. It is one of the most detailed and feature rich platform for agile teams and managing Kannan boards that I know of. However, I am not a great fan of it. Personally, I would incline towards Trello

CA Agile central (their website says that it's renamed to Rally), same as Jira, looks like a very enterprise solution focusing on big teams/companies. Trello (at least its free version) is oriented on (relatively) small projects I think. They don't have features to track milestones and overall progress, for example. At least, I'm not aware of them...

I use Meister Task to manage my personal projects as well as work things. The only thing I choosed this over trello is the UI. In this website, it's very easy to find what you need and it has a pleasant UI.

I haven't used Github Projects though
