The Gitlab licensing model was recently change and the lowest tier starter license was removed. Anyone knows which of these new features a customer receives that is still on "starter" (which can be kept for up to one year after the change to the license model)?
I feel that Gitlab needs to optimize for the 90% use case instead of adding more features. For example does anyone else find Gitlabs diff lacking? It makes reviewing large patches painful, with the seemingly constant fetching of individual file diffs and inability to show large file diffs. The UI in general feels sluggish, especially when compared to something like Gerrit or GitHub.
Can we just get a decent unified Notification Center, please? Notifications in GitLab are painful, just copy how GitHub does it and stop trying to make it so complicated.
I am curious, at what point will the features stop? Do we keep adding features until Gitlab becomes impossibly complex to use or onboard anyone? Why isn't Gitlab built like a modular app - add what you want but core should be simple as possible and feature complete. I am afraid but this is how a lot of applications die. Gitlab is starting to get bulky and obese already.
I think this is a real strategic challenge for Gitlab; I think the answer is "the features never stop", and that is OK, as long as you understand their target customer/market. I first started thinking hard about this when they recently cancelled their bronze tier subscription. Gitlab is clearly ducking out of a brawl with Github for the individual/consumer $5/month tier; that makes sense as there is no way Gitlab can…
It isn't so much about the customer but about the product. Our ambition went from being a source code tool to a complete DevOps platform delivered as a single application.
I think a lot of the changes you see can be explained from that.

This is closer to how git is used in the linux mailing lists but gitlab completely breaks that workflow. Github has added some support for that. And yeah, performance sucks, even for trivial patches.

On https://gitlab.com/help I see 13.11.0-pre as the version. Maybe you're working on a self-managed version that still needs to be updated?
I'm talking about this: https://i.imgur.com/isbEqn6.png My instance is definitely updated, I did it myself and verified the version number in the Admin section.

Not being a gitlab user I'm surprised its notification are worse than github's, because it's not like github's notifications are any good. Between the comment notifications which don't link you anywhere half the time (possibly on inline comments? I never remember) and the update notifications which give you a completely empty diff on a push force, it only serves to signal that something happened on this thing you don…
