Sorry, didn't see your comment till now... About the last point - yes, there is a ticket about it (too lazy to find it now ;).

The first ticket is a bit different. Starting depending jobs automatically would be great, but I would be satisfied if I could just click a button "Start this job when dependencies finish".

But anyway, those are all quite old tickets and I know from talking with other developers that I am not the only one having a sore point. And I don't see much improvement in the last year or so.

Don't get me wrong - I still love the product and would like to see it get even better.
