Because there are better alternatives?
Because it still has allot of problems, that even sun people complain about it? Just take a look at the some sun forums to see how many of the posts are hudson problems related: http://forums.java.net/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=73&start=0
Just being free is not an argument enough to choose something worse.

Hi, I looked at what kind of issues Swing guys are facing, and it seems like most of discussions are not about Hudson issues, but about issues found by build failures on Hudson. Or are there issues in Hudson that I missed?

Because the document is sorely lacking

I thought the inline help in the configuration screen has been enough for most of the users that I've heard from. Is there any specific kind of documents that you are looking for?

Because I tried it and failed to get it running even a simple local maven build. The settings are ambiguous and confusing.

I'd greatly appreciate more information about the failures, ambiguity, and confusion. Those things always help us make Hudson better.

Sorry, but I just don;t have the time to go into detail. Try looking at it as if for the first time. ;)

Because the Perforce plugin is ... eh ... not working.
(At least the three times I have tried different versions of Hudson and the perforce plugin during the last year, every time after hearing someone praising Hudson)
I dont understand the praise it gets, could it be because of the looks?

The release pattern is also somewhat confusing ... :

"Stable" releases each and every day !? Sometimes more than one stable release a day? How can those releases be called "stable"?


,

Sorry to hear that the plugin didn't work for you. I'm sure the Perforce plugin developers would appreciate more failure reports.

As for the release pattern, I define "stable" as "things that passed all the tests and are expected to work nicely for production use."
