Have you used gitlab every day in anger? I don't think you'd feel the same if you have.

There's things I don't like about it, and there are a looot of long-standing open issues, but I think GitLab is definitely better than GitHub in a number of ways. My org uses both (and also Azure DevOps, joy) and my team expects that the trend will be migrating from GitLab to GitHub. There are a bunch of things for me to grieve in that, much to my own surprise.

We use a self-hosted GitLab for about 6 years now. The only thing that is really awful is if your MR gets too big. Then GitLab will simply stop showing any code changes above a certain line threshold.

GitLab’s CI is miles better than GitHub’s. I think it’s telling that every place I’ve been at that used GH also used some 3rd party CI tool (which also sucked, but that’s par for the course), whereas places with GL seemed to manage with its native capabilities.

I both use gitlab, and run our gitlab instance for our company, with as many as 700 users.

I still love it! Works great, makes sense, is fast...

I use GitLab daily and feel like it’s a joy to use. What do you dislike?

I rarely interact with projects hosted on it I'm always getting losts in unintuitive menus, for example: click on the tiny sidebar button > plan > issues just to open the bug tracker. The website also used to be bog slow compared to github, but thanks to microsoft the gap has been closing.
