I dunno if you guys have gotten feedback on this, but the difference between build artifacts, artifact feeds, and the output of some pipelines' tasks in terms of artifacts is really confusing.

I know it's probably getting translated to yaml from the old way which was a bunch of forms with build options, but we had some trouble with this. At the time, yaml releases were also still in development/preview mode.

One thing I'm going to miss is being able to discover things through the build wizard. Now it's just a blank yaml file and I feel that hurts the initial impression. I'd really like an option to build yaml files using the old way, but still get the yaml output for version control, that way I have all of the options and their potential values immediately available and I don't have to memorize and type everything.

There's a bunch I like about Azure DevOps though. Hopefully I haven't missed something really obvious.

Azure Pipelines PM here. Definitely hear you on the current YAML experience. We're working on updates to the editor now to allow you to quickly browse and insert task snippets. It's going to be a big improvement.
