ADO makes me yearn for Jira.

The boards are terrible, the UI is hard, the permissions are incomprehensible, it doesn't even integrate that nicely with Azure.

On paper it does everything, it practice it can be made to do everything, but it's like getting citrus drenched sandpaper papercuts every day.

Hah, thanks for that mental image.

As I said the positivive sentiments I heard came from developers, and TFA is about CI (rather than boards etc. that JIRA handles, so is there maybe anything remotely positive in how AzDO implements CI, git integration, testing, etc? Or is it just rotten to the core?

Hard to imagine someone would hate it more than Bitbucket Pipelines or, god forbid, Bamboo. Buuut I’m more than open-minded if need be.

AzDO Pipelines was directly the first draft of what became GitHub Actions, so technically it does have a lot to recommend it, especially if you learn the Multi-Stage YAML approach which does sort of directly feed into GitHub Actions for the eventual day you decide to migrate.

Yeah, the Pipelines are okay all things considered.
