I like Jenkins a lot - but I'd love it if somebody could give it a bit of a facelift. It looks and feels very aged at this point.
I have to say, pretty much every CI/CD tool, build automation or whatever you want to call it, sucks.
Somehow they all manage not to offer boilerplate actions since that would be too restrictive, yet they also stand in your way if you want to have advanced features.
I often end up writing pipeline steps/jobs thinking "how is that not already built-in?".
And my absolutely biggest pain point: why the fuck is there not a single tool that lets me execute pipelines locally? Why do I have to have 200 commits all saying a variation of "pipeline test"?

That actually looks quite promising. You don't happen to know of a similar project for Gitlab runners?
I do not. I'm sorry.
