That's cool, no haters here, ha.

To each there own :-P

I'd be ok with either, since my current understanding of jjb is that it 
is somewhat targeted at the 'old-style' jenkins (where jobs trigger 
other jobs and jobs are highly configured via XML/yaml translators) 
while the jenkinsfile (workflow/pipeline) stuff is more targeted around 
'u write all that crap and workflow and triggers in groovy and it 
becomes more like one file per repo', so the use of jjb and job 
templates and job templating and ... if u had well written jenkinsfile 
groovy files may be diminished.
