Hard to say since every tool out there moves very fast and we're just building what we think our users want. Overall my personal opinion is the "pull request" model is flawed for businesses but great for open source. Phabricator doesn't serve two masters in that regard. This means we focus more on developer efficiency and code quality. Tools like arcanist are harder to convince people to adopt, but save me personally a few hours each week. (Arcanist does pre-commit lint, unit, and patch emitting). Other tools like Herald (business actions!) and Owners (claim you own code!) are also highly useful at scale.
