The problem with that approach is that you're limited by the quality of your weakest tool. Code review might be a strength, but if your CI tool is weak, that's what you'll be judged on. Integrations are a way to allow you to focus on what you do best and effectively outsource the rest. Ideally, the integration hooks would be well integrated, but I don't see an upside in trying to make a monolithic app in this market.

GitLab allows you to integrate with your existing tools if you please or require. But if you're fine using our tools (which are awesome, if you'd ask me), setup and cost will be zero.

I agree. It is essentially the same vision like the old ALM tools had. They were beaten by better more specialized tools following the unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.
