Jenkins has a long tail of pain.

CI "simplification" there gets stale fast once plugins age out of sync, upgrades turn into archaeology, and some random maintainer vanishes. Losing faith in GitHub is one thing, but paying an engineer to babysit CI infra every week is usually a worse deal than the SaaS bill.

CI is basically a glorified shell script executor with some env variable/credential injection. We don't use many of the plugins aside from the docker and the agent shell one.

I'm not sure I'm sold on this argument considering the docker image for GH Actions is made by "myoung34" and half the actions are community written, have terrible documentation and feel like abandonware too.
