what's wrong with Jenkins? It's battle tested and hardened. Works flawless even with thousands of tasks, and WORKS OUT OF THE BOX.

imo top 10 best admin/devs free software written in past 25 years.

It's too old and easy-to-use for anyone to hype it up as the next cool thing.

Buildkite has been around since 2013, hardly the next hype train

I mean all CIs work out of the box, although I have no interest in self hosting CI.

Jenkins is probably a bit like Java, technically it is fine. The problem is really where/who typically uses it and as there is so much freedom it is really easy to make a monster. Where as for Go it is a lot harder to write terrible unmaintainable code compared to Java.
