Jenkins, like many tools with extreme flexibility, sucks as much as you make it suck. You can pretty easily turn Jenkins into a monstrosity that makes everyone afraid to ever try to update it. On the other hand, you can also have a pretty solid setup that is easy to work on. The trouble is that the tool itself doesn't guide you much to the good path, so unless you've seen a pleasant Jenkins instance before you're likely to have a worse time than necessary.
