I think as part of the new Jenkins architecture we should be able to make it much easier to stop at a point in a pipeline & open a terminal/REPL to test out steps.

Also I'm hoping for a nice validated YAML based pipeline syntax that should make editing/validating pipelines easier

We have almost the exact opposite request. RE: stop and repl. Our Jenkins pipelines have escalated privs in that they can deploy code so are a juicy attack vector. Wed largely like these things to be read and execute only and any modifications need to go through review.
