PT shines where most other options fail. I don't want to organize my priorities by setting fields in some dreary form, I just want to drag&drop. (If only it had sub-stories.)

Re. sub-stories, have you checked out the "tasks" feature, which is disabled by default?

Yay! thanks a lot!

It also has the added benefit of letting you see (and prioritize) bugs and features in the same place.

I added it as an option; seeing as it seems popular.

Same here. 4-5 people, at most 3 / project.
