Azure DevOps is the gold standard for Pipelines.

That's not saying much, since it's still dependent upon the untyped mess that is YAML.

YAML is just a data format. Make your own "thing" that takes input in any format you desire, then dump it to YAML. (also, YAML is dynamically typed, and supports explicit typing, but the parser can choose to ignore it)

AD is just sourcesafe/tfs/vsts with rebranding, each time trying to get rid of the bad reputation in developer circles.

Really?

I grant you pipelines are the best bit about ado, but the fact that you can’t test them is a pain.

And the webhooks and templating are pretty messy and unpleasant quickly.

We’re changing from ADO to GitHub (had to be an MS product for corporate) and the infra people are looking forward to GHA as they prefer their maintenance to ADO pipelines.
