I feel the same with Gitlab, with e.g. build pipeline status not updating when it's done - it feels pull- instead of push-based.

I mean it may be working just fine, but I don't see it - and the success rate of refreshing a page to see an update is so high that it doesn't instill confidence.

These tools should be more reactive, I think, with live progress indicators and the like.

Nothing wrong with pull based. Actually I feel like push connections are more often less reliable as they are lost and not reconnected.
