Travis has weird priorities. The Ubuntu environment has been stuck on Precise/Trusty for years now. And the only place you can upload artifacts is Amazon S3. I really hate to be that person who sees a new offering and is like "but when will you fix your busted junk?!" but.. when will you fix your busted junk?!

I came here to raise this exact criticism. It’s gradually become a thorn in my side which as of late has begin to erode my general good will towards TravisCI and steering me away from paying TravisCI for anything, by way of now that I’m paying for basic services elsewhere because TravisCI doesn’t do what I want, I’ll just pay slightly more to get their premium services for my non open source and/or professional repositories.

It feels sort of like they are just “coasting” on their past momentum. It’s clear they aren’t, since they are doing things, as this very blog post attests, but not the sorts of things people profess to want.

Yeah, this and a couple other reasons have caused me to jump ship (slow boot times, weird config, glitchy UI, plenty of deploy integrations but individually limited, too much downtime e.g. today Travis had trouble talking to S3 for a while). They're constantly improving which is great but after using them for 2+ years, it was time to leave. Plenty of great alternatives out there. Circle CI, Buildkite, Jenkins, Bamboo.
