   Why does Jenkins have a bad reputation around here? Why do you hate it?

     @nixCraft We have been using #Jenkins at $DAYJOB for the last ten years. We didn't have any autobuilders set up when I started working here, and Jenkins was the easiest to set up.

     It is painfully ignorant of branches in VCSes, which means I have to set up a new builder for every single branch I want to build from, but I've learned to live with it.

     Haven't found a good alternative yet, though. Anything that cannot be installed on-premises is not an option.

     @literatesavant @nixCraft No, can't say I have. I have just used the default Git plugin, and can either tell it to build all branches (which then end up in a jumbled mess without any way to easily find a list of builds from a single branch) or set up one job for each branch to build. I ended up doing the latter.

     @nafmo @nixCraft I'm surprised to hear that it's painfully ignorant of branches... Have you looked at Pipeline Multibranch jobs?
