Bug systems should make it easy to file, and quick to triage. The costs for entering a new bug should be low. Forcing people to set up user accounts when NO BUGS WILL EVER BE ASSIGNED TO THEM is just poor design.
Bugzilla is a relic of a system where all the users (including testers) are employees, and are assumed to have credentials in the system already. It does not handle well the zillions of casual bug detections by end users. If you've got an in-house QA department, it may suit them just fine. Just don't expect every net.random to start using it and not kvetch gargargar at you when the warts show through.
Also, the BACK BUTTON for krissakes!
