I thought GitLab was ahead of GitHub features?
They may be now but that's not surprising if you have a solid foundation of a highly successful business to copy efficiently and then can allocate more resources to additional features to differentiate?

The people most annoyed in the last thread were the ones who evangelized GitLab within their companies but hadn't yet convinced the company to pull the plug or transition to a paid plan. They now have egg on their faces as GitLab is no longer a viable option due to pricing.
I worked at a company that only used Gitlab's free tier for production deployments. But instead of actually paying for their service to resolve various limitations we ran into, my manager decided he "had a bad experience with Gitlab" and so we switched providers. I honestly don't know what people are thinking using a free tier for some service provider to run their company.
We only use the CI/CD feature and host our own runners, free plan serves us well and gitlab.com just works.
We're currently using the starter edition for exactly one reason, ldap integration. Now we're supposed to pay $240 / employee for an ldap integration?! Not sure what we'll do but I suspect scripting some ldap integration into our gitlab will be one of the best spent times in terms of ROI for me this year.
$240 a year (per engineer) to keep your engineers focusing on providing product value is beyond paying for itself. Building custom in house tooling always costs 5x more than engineers believe, and ultimately doesn't improve your end product. This kind of tooling would probably require at least 100 engineers to justify the innate cost of building and maintaining it.
Meanwhile Sourcehut is still twenty quid a year...
Wow. Almost feels like a bait and switch. GitLab is now completely uncompetitive with GitHub in terms of price structure. 4-5x on monthly cost.
Hasn't Gitlab just been a copying Github machine too from the start? I don't mean to start a fight but I've only ever seen praise from its launch as a wanted competitor, but no one seems to have mentioned the obvious? I know git wasn't invented by Github but from what I remember Github was a pretty clear roadmap for Gitlab.
But their CI and other tools expanding, they seem to have come into their own.
For a few years, it seems like GitHub had completely stagnated and was riddled with politics and infighting. But they seem to have found their momentum again. We might switch back to GitHub because GitLab feels just messy and less polished right now.

I wonder if there will be the notable absence of the CEO in this thread too. That is remarkable.
We have an entire team of people responding on social and I wanted them to be the DRI https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/directly-resp... I think the blog post with me as the author https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/26/new-gitlab-product-... and the FAQ https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/faq-new-product-subscriptio... answer most questions. But happy to answer any other questions.
And a quick search with algolia justifies that : there are very little Gitlab threads where you have been absent.
Is it really so difficult for a company to buy one (1) ten year old mid-spec server to do SCM? It's all you'd need even for dozens of users.
