I assumed OP felt that the background UI's fictional butler (a metaphor) is what offended them so I asked why this was the case. Many downvotes ensued.

Pretty sure they meant the UI is so ugly it's offensive.

If it was only ugly. No, Jenkins UI is the dumpster fire that you would have gotten 20 years ago throwing a bunch of ActiveX components onto a VB panel. Like, let me just drag this Camera component to my snazzy program.

Any one click can be a gateway into a one million miles deep rabbithole of unbridled mediocrity and brokenness.

You know, Drupal feels like this for me as well. We have Jenkins testing and deploying Drupal projects and it's like one of those cranes at the tip parked on top of a mound of garbage, shifting crap from one mound to another.

looks? naa thats not the problem.

Its badly laid out, inconsistent and worst of all lazy loading. So its not like you click a button and everything displays.

No, you click a button and wait 1.5 seconds whilst everything jiggles about.
