Am I an outlier in that not only do I find GitHub actions pleasant to use, but that most folks over complicate their CI/CD pipelines? I've had to re-write alot of actions configurations over the last few years, and in every case, the issue was simply not thinking through the limits of the platform, or when things would be better to run as custom docker images (which you can do via GitHub Actions) etc.

It tends to be that folks want to shoehorn some technology into the pipeline that doesn't really fit, or they make these giant one shot configurations instead of running multiple small parallel jobs by setting up different configurations for different concerns etc.
