Yes, this is absolutely within our mission to resolve. We've been discussing adding "high level notifications" in declarative and the editor. You can follow along at https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-41687 https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-41687. One thing to note about Blue Ocean is that as we bring in features (For example, better slack and HipChat notifications) we will be making the required plugins dependencies of Blue Ocean. We don't want you to have to think about plugins unless you are going outside our curated experience.
