They switched to LUCI after I left. It seems like Go lost functionality with it honestly. I don't understand its advantages. I think it's just Chrome team staffed it and Go didn't want to staff build tools as much anymore?

FWIU most of the DevX group went on LUCI and the Go team folks were favorable. My understanding is that it was not imposed. At the time I was there, Chrome's director for the CI wasn't happy in getting more customers for a long time. I'm curious what regressions affect you the most.

IIRC at least when it was first introduced we lost some OSes, builds started much slower (slower setup time), and the failures were hidden behind relatively bloated JS/CSS pages.

OSes is a bummer. I worked hard for the bot to work everywhere, including MIPS and I almost did s390x; I failed to convince leads was worth it. Swarming has a fairly solid cache system to improve setup for the warm case. For the cold case, it depends. HTML; I'm no web guy so I can't say. :/
