I am contemplating a move from Github to Gitlab right now. Feature-wise there seems to be enough parity with Github to make this sort of thing possible.

Also, gitlab's CI system is attractive and being able to run our own runners in our own environment (we currently used an outsourced CI system.)

We're also doing it because Github enterprise is too expensive, and we want to rely on less external dependencies in our environment.

Glad to hear you're considering to move to GitLab. We think being able to have CI Runners on your own environment too is a great advantage, not only on Linux machines but any. For GitLab.com we're using autoscaling runners https://about.gitlab.com/2016/03/29/gitlab-runner-1-1-releas... at Digital Ocean and we're running 2800 now, see http://i.imgur.com/8bP8QBh.png for a screenshot I just took that combines our Digital Ocean runners with people that bring their own.
