Gitlab's biggest issue has always been their ridiculous approach to pricing. It simply isn't worth paying ~20-30x more per developer than comparable tools.

Feature segmentation can be entirely reasonable. However, gating something like "linking epics"[0] behind what used to be $99/month/user (now POA) is pure hubris.

Yes it has been. They literally refuse to take money and be smart about it. For example, all users must be licensed at the same level. So if you have the $99 / month level, and want people to just edit the wiki, it's the same price. Instead of a much cheaper price. So instead of people doing that and them making more money, people just say "nah" and they lose money.

It's utterly ridiculous.
