Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah, I was an avid user of self hosted gitlab previously, but the pace of added bloat^Wfeatures was just too much and I ditched it for gitea about 1 year ago. I feel gitlab's is now mainly aiming at large enough companies which actually use all of these features.

Not sure why you feel that added features result in "bloat". We've been on Gitlab for 4 years now, and our core workflow not only hasn't changed, but also has not been impacted by any of the new features. On the other hand, we've expanded our usage beyond it, and it's always nice to need a feature and find out that it is right there under a menu and just needs some configuration to get it to work.

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.

Really looking forward for VSCode full blown merge reviewing. Impatiently wafting for this so I don't have to use sluggish browser any more: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension/-/issu...

I really like how GitLab is shaping up. I hope they start getting a bit more mind share from GitHub, but I think they really shot themselves in the foot with that recent pricing change. [1] Having to pay the same amount per license, for folks that just want to create/edit or even just view issues, as a full blown developer is simply not tractable. There's a lot of value in the platform and all else equal I'd probably…

You can voice your input here on the matter of non-developer accounts; https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213185 The more feedback they get the better.

So much second this. It actually feels like it is getting slower on each upgrade, and more buggy. Am I the only one who finds that the "go to next unresolved" button now often goes into an inconsistent non-working state that requires a (slow) refresh? Given that I spend most of my time on GitLab reviewing, this is a real pain point for me.
