What are the most popular bug tracking / issue tracking tools, in order of popularity? I've been scouring the web but can't find a definitive (and ordered) list.

I suspect that near the top of the list will be:

  • FogBugz
  • JIRA
  • Mantis
  • Trac
  • BugZilla
  • TFS

Wikipedia has a really big list, but doesn't give you any sense of popularity.

I'm unclear as to why the popularity of certain trackers over others is of any use. A question comparing features I could understand. – Carmi May 18 '11 at 6:27
What is your opinion, What's the best, What's the most popular, questions like these are FORUM related. Please close this question. – Hannibal May 18 '11 at 7:30
Out of scope for SQA – Robert Munteanu May 18 '11 at 10:36
Agreed. Popularity and opinion, while useful for longer discussions, is a problem for SQA. – TristaanOgre May 18 '11 at 12:46
While I don't consider it to be off-topic, I do consider it to fall under the "Not a real question" category. I wouldn't consider it answerable in its current form. – corsiKa♦ May 18 '11 at 17:21

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

FogBugz.

I've used a few and even though it sounds biased based on the stackexchange creators, I'm all about FogBugz. Not only do I use it for bug tracking, I also use it to manage projects and my team's workload. It is just so easy to use. The easier to use, the better chance bugs are going to get entered.
