Why is that a hard pill to swallow? Longevity doesn't imply goodness, especially in software. Same for Bash, C and gnu utils.
It also doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it. I would strongly recommend... basically anything else over Jenkins.
Maybe I missed your point there.
why do you recommend other tools over things which are tested and will last way longer than whatever the current fad is? The best part of Jenkins is it's ubiquitousness - writing code that will run forever is not to be sniffed at
That's one of the reasons I like Java. It definitely has problems, but it's been around so long that there are an insane number of libraries to work with. And you can practically guarantee that your project will run on a given computer with minimal fuss.
Can you give some examples of other tools for the job you'd rather use, which can be self hosted?
