Do any readers recommend other bug-tracking tools?

Not really. My employer uses JIRA and I'm quite happy with it. Features like custom filters that e-mail the results periodically are great since it will alert you to any incoming trouble right away.

With the light in our eyes, it's hard to see.

I recommend to take a look at redMine (http://redmine.rubyforge.org).
It's relatively young, but offers almost all of trac's features and many others that are in trac's roadmap since a long time (customizable workflow, fine-grained rbac, multiproject, etc..).
It's a RubyOnRails application

Eventum is also a nice open source tool which seems to look a lot like BugZilla and which we have been using for some time
http://eventum.mysql.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
The only problem we encountered was that it is practically impossible to switch issues between projects,

- pluggable SCM integeration
- E-mail integration
- Quite easy to setup

I used Scarab in my last project. I looked like it had a lot of potential, but unfortunately appeared to be itself slightly buggy.
It seems to be centered around having a completely customizable workflow. Perhaps this is over-ambitous.
I did get it completely seemlessly integrated with Subversion though, which was nice.

How about Mantis? Although less used than Buzilla, it is nevertheless a tenor in the Bug Tracker category!

You can consider TrackStudio - http://www.trackstudio.com
Detailed comparison TrackStudio and JIRA from vendor is available:
http://www.trackstudio.com/products-comparison.html
The only problem with TrackStudio - it is not intuitive and can require some learning (especially if you have no experience with systems like ClearQuest or TeamTrack).

Yes I definitely recommend Mantis. Free, open-source and very very intuitive and easy to use from the get-go. It works on both Windows and Linux, supports MySQL as well as SQLServer (along with a list of other DBMS's). Even the database creation is done automatically and you don't even need an auto installer. If you have PHP on your system, it's as easy as unzipping a ZIP file and running the index.php page. everything else will be taken care of. If anyone has tried Bugzilla during installation or later when trying to use it, they would know what a blessing mantis is.

I am playing with scarab for while and it looks really good so far. Nicer user interface than bugzilla, more freedom with customizing and usefull genrally for all issues not only bugs (tasks, enhancements...)

Check out Project Dune:
Project Dune At SourceForge
It's GPL and the objective of the project goes beyond regular bug tracking. It has integration with a SCRUM task management module and timesheets, document management and estimates are on the way. The objective is to create a fully integrated environment to manage and guide the development process from start to finish.
You can inspect your code in the browser and the system tracks the modified files and the status of those inspections for you. There are a couple of reports already that provide insight into the status of development.

Interesting comments...
I've added most of the tools mentioned here to the Java Power Tools poll on Issue Tracking - I'd be interested to get an idea of how many people are using products like Mantis, RedMind, Eventrum and the others.

You should also have a look at Track+.
It is a highly configurable bug and project tracking system. We are using it for some years and are very happy with it.
http://www.trackplus.com
The project is hosted by SourceForge.

How about RequestTracker. From my use so far (about 2 years), looks nice.

We have gotten along great with AccuRev's issue tracking tool that comes with AccuRev SCM. But we may decide to move to Jira and AccuRev supports it with through its SDK, AccuBridge, among many others like TeamTrack, ClearQuest, Bugzilla, etc.
Change packages, once we started using them, are GREAT!

At our project we are using DevTrack from TechExcel. It is a commercial product, but it's very puwerful and user friendly.
