What is the different between a scripted pipeline to declarative pipeline? Which type are you using?

Jenkins supports two types of pipelines: Scripted pipelines and Declarative pipelines.

Scripted pipelines use Groovy syntax and provide a high degree of flexibility and control over the build process. Scripted pipelines allow developers to write custom code to handle complex scenarios, but can be complex and hard to maintain.

Declarative pipelines are a newer feature and provide a simpler way to define pipelines using YAML syntax. Declarative pipelines provide a more structured and opinionated way to define builds, making it easier to get started with pipelines and reducing the risk of errors.

Some key differences between the two types of pipelines are:

1. Syntax: Scripted pipelines use Groovy syntax while declarative pipelines use YAML syntax.
2. Structure: Declarative pipelines have a more structured format and define specific stages, while scripted pipelines provide more flexibility in defining build stages and steps.
3. Error handling: Declarative pipelines provide a more comprehensive error handling system with built-in conditions and actions, while scripted pipelines require more manual error handling.
4. Ease of use: Declarative pipelines are easier to use for beginners and provide a simpler syntax, while scripted pipelines require more expertise in Groovy and can be more complex.
5. Maintenance: Declarative pipelines are easier to maintain and can be modified with less effort compared to scripted pipelines, which can be more difficult to modify and extend over time.

I am familiar with both types of pipelines, but generally prefer declarative pipelines for their ease of use and simplicity.
