Too many things in Gitlab feel half-baked, like their requirements feature which is essentially just their issue tracker, no document management, just toss some issues in the bin. And they expect enterprises to pay for it because they checked the feature box.

To be fair, a lot of enterprise sales is based on "ticking boxes".

I've had a good experience using GitLab for source code repositories, pipelines, and code reviews. I don't have much experience using it for issue tracking and document management since we use Jira & Confluence for that. For my own hobby projects outside of work the free tier has been great, and it was easy to host my own gitlab runner so that I don't have to pay for CI/CD minutes.

The fact they can leave things as serious as this https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/344919 unfixed for almost a year and a half basically makes them not suitable for serious use in my opinion.

And since my opinion often matters they continue to lose business.

I made a garbage tool to pull repositories from gitlab to github or vice versa. I used it just to explore Go so it's not really prod ready but handy if you're just looking to move your code over.

It most likely will explode.

Even though features are half-baked I still think the future is bright for them, especially if GitHub slips up or gets complacent. Intel showed us that it is possible.
