As always, we're here if you have any questions or comments.

Can we expect to see more focus on improving merge requests within Gitlab? I've felt as though for the longest time it's not had any of the major functionality gaps filled and seems to be deteriorating with each release. I'm wondering now if Gitlab doesn't see it very high on the list of priorities for the product

(Apologies if this comes across as overly negative, I use Gitlab all day every day and it's a great tool)

We're relatively new to the GitLab game, but it has vastly improved the overall transparency into our codebase and the work that's going into it. The ability to put comments in the diffs as code reviews is something that a lot of people might be used to, but we've been sorely missing as my company.

I've read other people's gripes, but I have none of my own yet. Thanks very much GitLab team.

That was not what I titled it though. I can't explain how it changed to "Gitlab is now in the fortune 500".

It was originally "Why this 'well-kept' secret for programmers is suddenly popping up in the Fortune 500", I shortened it by removing the "popping it". Sorry for the inconvenience.

Absolutely. Code review is at the core of the product and it should be amazing to use.

Coming up we will add the ability to revert merges [0]. We're also working on redoing the UI of MRs (and much of the rest of the app) and have someone working fulltime on performance now, which will also help here.

What would you like to see improved? Very curious to hear.
