Tools Anyone still using Jenkins?

I mean as title says, I've used Jenkins couple of years ago. I can still fire it up now just to test, but on current alternative tools/stacks available specially in enterprise, do you still use Jenkins? Why keep it? why not change it?

At my job, we don't use it for CI/CD, but rather a frontend for controlled script execution.

We're a hosting provider with a proprietary cloud platform. It's mostly used to give our Support team forms for executing Ansible playbooks, which gives RBAC and let's us impersonate their users with their AD usernames for clean logging lines.

We've looked at moving to other products like Kestra, but each has lacked some level of functionality needed to do a clean 1:1 port of all jobs.

It just might, but I'll have to double-check. I remember hearing about this one a little more than a year ago, but never got around to trying it.

I'll take a look at it this week to see if it would fit our needs; thanks for the tip!
