Jenkins 2.0 Beta

Wait, what? Jenkins can do whatever pre-processing/post-processing you need by means of tasks. Regular Ant/Maven/Java tasks. And that was there, in production, from the time immemorial. People have been doing that for a decade now.

GoCD and Concourse add... what?

Or I could use Makefiles. Or just write a giant single bash script which only works on three workstations in the office.

GoCD and Concourse make the connections as important as the individual jobs. Concourse goes further and makes checked-in configuration and disposable containers the basis of the build environment.

This sounds like no big deal, but it's critical.

The point is not whether Jenkins can "do" these things. With the right stew of plugins, it can. The point is that Jenkins does not really think this way. It starts with the Single Ball of Build as the unit of work and retrofits other possibilities.
