Azure Devops is something I want to love.

The UI keeps changing, but doesn't fix underlying bugs that have been around for ages.

Multiple issues where the builds don't actually update in the browser when they go through the steps (f5 only fixes), the builds show out of order in the UI, and many many other wonky things.

Also releases aren't YAML yet. Builds are, and are a good feature.

Azure Devops is almost perfect, and with a bit of TLC would be excellent.

@thejosh I'm a PM on Azure Pipelines and I'm interested to hear the builds UI ordering and other wonkiness feedback if you want to share. You can email me at my firstname.lastname at microsoft.com and we can do whatever works from there.
YAML build definitions are not supported for GitHub Enterprise, which is mystifying to me seeing as how they are supported for GitHub. This is a critical missing feature for us and will leave us having to manually create huge JSON blobs for submission to the API.
@nathanaldensr, I'm an engineer on Azure DevOps. We rolled out support for YAML build with GitHub Enterprise this month.
