What are the functional differences between Jira server and Jira Cloud?

[Peter Cary]

Other than some plug-ins not  being available for Jira Cloud, and that the UX will be different, what are the major functional difference between these two versions of Jira?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/compare-atlassian-cloud-vs-server-744721664.html is a good comparison.

It does lean towards Atlassian's drive on getting everyone on to Cloud, which I could argue with.  But have a read of that and feel free to ask us questions (and for opinions if you want them, as I've already mentioned one of mine)
