Every next move by Gitlab makes them grow in my eyes, personaly. Few weeks ago I started using it as my main "portfolio", it's not much but I really like their way of thinking, openness and providing services. Their whole eco-system is looking really interesting right now, and I hope they will continue to advance and grow. Edits: typos, wrote from phone.

Have you actualy used Gitlab? I can't say they are becoming bloated, because they services are of high quality? Have you tried their CI/CD? Github is stagnating. Yeah, they are industry standard, but competition is best thing that can happen to them and users.

I haven't seen them promoting that hard as you describe.

I wrote my comment of the pure satisfaction with their services and my use case. So stop being ignorant and be civilized and at least argument what you say. What happened to them month ago was an accident that could happen to many others, but the difference was that they were 100% open about it, with others you may won't even know shit is happening.

Nobody forces you to use anything.

Edit: And now you edit and delete 90% of comment, nice.

What happens to Mattermost? They even touched on this ... "What about Mattermost, how is this different? Gitter was built to be used in the open. We’ve always seen Gitter as a network, or a place where people can come to connect to one another. Team collaboration, whilst possible, has never been a core aspect of the Gitter experience. Mattermost is a powerful, integrated messaging product for team collaboration - we…

Thanks, that's good.

They surely have the best intentions. Hopefully one product doesn't take priority over the other and/or they can prevent cannibalization. There's definite overlap.

Slack is built on top of IRC. Presumably Gitter is as well

> Slack is built on top of IRC Source? First time I hear that, and it seems unlikely, since they have quite a few features that don't fit nicely in stock IRC.

I’m not sure there are any Slack features that don’t fit into stock IRC v3. Basically everything they do is already supported or a draft. (Now just everyone has to implement it)

I started a new project recently, and put it on Gitlab instead of GitHub. I'm very pleased so far, and have been finding reasons to justify encouraging others to move projects there as well.

I'm very glad to hear that. What are the reasons that you think will encourage others?
