How is Gitlab CI materially different from the jenkins model?

I find that the only difference is that it's YAML - so even harder to debug, and maintains the same model where you must re run an entire pipeline every commit to test functionality.

Yeah YAML isn’t ideal, but I personally found jenkins to be terrible to configure, not super well documented, missing features compared to an installation of gitlab (ex built in registry).

Also the ability to rerun, target, and influence builds themselves is better on GitLab as well I think.

You can run locally first to test functionality : - )

oh that's nice I didn't know that! Still a stickler on yaml for code though

how dare you suggest something so pedestrian.
