I did try to get a Bugzilla installation running before (for personal use) and in the end I found that the entire interface offered more options than I could understand ("overkill" is the word like Joe Grossberg said above).

However, I find the interface is overkill for small things. For example, opening a bug and assigning it to me should be one simple step. Changing a bug's status to "resolved" and closing it should equally easy. Instead, Mantis has all these intermediate steps. At some point, I'll probably just write my own simplified page that does just that; I've created "simple add" and "simple search" pages for my job's Bugzilla installation.
