Hi. Co-founder of CloudBees here (and sometimes contributor to the Jenkins project). I have described the UI as far worse words than that myself, but things are changing:

- Reboot the UI (it isn't just changing existing, but replacing): https://jenkins.io/projects/blueocean/

- Getting rid of version numbers and updates, and fiddling with plugins by hand: https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/04/06/jenkins-essentials/ (make it ever green, like browsers)

- Jenkins X - which is really about how you build apps on Kubernetes: https://jenkins-x.io

- We also have https://CodeShip.com - for those that don't need the on-prem/self hosting flexibility/extensibility and want things to work as a service.

Its great to see so much activity in CI/CD these days, really cool to see. Hopefully if you run into Jenkins again one day in the future it wont be the one you have a bad memory of.
