Hi, Chris..

Just wanna add own 2 cents:

yes, Jenkins quality remains to be an issue.
We also experiencing problems with it time to time.

I wonder if there any better alternatives..
>From other side, jenkins provides a rich set of features (many from plugins),
which would be hard to match if one would start writing it from scratch.
