Pretty sure someone at MS told me that Actions was rewritten by the team who wrote Azure DevOps. So bureaucracy would be a feature.
That aside, GH Actions doesn’t seem any worse than GitLab. I forget why I stopped using CircleCI. Price maybe? I do remember liking the feature where you could enter the console of the CI job and run commands. That was awesome.
I agree though that yaml is not ideal.
Debug with SSH(1) is still one of our (CircleCI) most loved and praised features. I really believe that these little QoL features can make a world of difference for sw developers and engineers, and this stays a strong focus for us.
