I liked Gerrit when working on OpenStack several years ago. The use of patch sets seemed pretty intuitive, and it was nice that there wasn't a "force push" workflow available that would hide changes from previous reviews. I tend to use a merge rather than rebase workflow with GitHub now, but I often see developers do the opposite, which can make directly viewing code changes from previous reviews challenging.

I am surprised that this post advocates for amending commits, though. It's been a while, so I might be misremembering, but I think a tool like git review makes that unnecessary:

Gerrit was ok, the openstack gerrit web ui was kinda iffy (at least circa 2013/14). Its been long enough that i don't really remember any details but it was bothersome enough that a couple of us wrapped the ssh gerrit commands in a cli: https://github.com/pandemicsyn/fgerrit
