Funnily, the UI just got a big update thanks to Github universe.
Another thing that irks me about Github is how unstable their 
environment is. From experience: 
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1498
If you look at their announcements 
(https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AAnnouncement) you'll see that they move fast. It might be a good thing for some use cases, but I definitely don't want to have to catchup to updates to my Docker images when there's work to be done.

Hopefully they'll see the light there too, at some point in the 
near future.
