You wouldn't have the input inside a node in the former.

My point is that in your example, there is no advantage of using Declarative. In fact, if you have to go to the trouble of setting up all your nodes or images manually anyway it is much simpler and more flexible to use Script:

 
                                                                stage "build" {
  node {
      sh "echo 42"
  }
}
stage "End" {
  input "Go ahead?"
   node {
       sh "echo done"
    }
}
 
                                                            

I don't need to create a superfluous stage just to break out of the node. In this case it is easier and more flexible to not use Declarative.

This will be especially true for things like Checkpoints. If I create 2 or 3 Checkpoints in my pipeline that is 2-3 additional Stages that shouldn't necessarily be visualized. Why force users to create Stages when they aren't necessary?

The goal should be to make things simpler in Declarative. We are trying to trade off flexibility for opinionated simplicity. Having it opinionated (limited) but not simpler is just wrong.
