There is a section about Airflow and while the author doesn't advocate for it, I've very much like it many many times. People still recommend it, but I find it to be an absolute nightmare to deal with.
Airflow's UX is just needlessly easter-eggy and bad. The one thing I'd want out of the dashboard is the list of recent job runs and whether they succeeded or failed, so of course that's hidden in such a way that a novice has to click 10 different places to find it. There's also the fact that they chose to call a timestamp "execution time" when it often doesn't correspond to the time the job is executed. Want to add parameters to your task? You better like hand-writing JSON or pasting it into a textbox because apparently that's a weird thing to do, so why bother adding any UI support for it.
