I quite agree. Jenkins offers in my opinion much, much more. I have been using 
my own custom Jenkins installation for at least half a year now and that 
allows me to easily build KWin with various compile flags, etc. etc. Also the 
community around Jenkins is very active and there are lots of plugins 
available to improve the testing (e.g. cppcheck which got recently added to 
our build.kde.org instance)
