Linear vs Jira. What am I missing?

I have used Jira for years across different teams and now again at a startup. Lately I keep hearing people rave about Linear and how it’s a “developer’s dream.” I looked at it and it seems clean and fast but struggling to understand what problem it solves that Jira doesn’t specially for teams that already have workflows in place.

Is the appeal mainly simplicity and speed? Or are there real advantages once you are working at scale?
