Contrary to the other comments in this thread, I've had a bad experience with Phabricator. With other solutions like Github, you can commit or create a PR straight on the website easily. This makes things like fixing typos in the README a joy, where everyone technical or not can participate.

Github is also well known and has issues, PRs and a CI all integrated into one, while with Phabricator each of these are either a self-host Jenkins (again, friction) or in a totally different/confusing location.

It's sad to see a tech company that many liked go, but hopefully this means the higher ups will reconsider Phab usage in my company :)

I have had a similar bad time using Phabricator, but I think it was because of the procedures implemented by our customer and me expecting it to work more like Stash/Bitbucket.

Phabricator seems like it was the right choice for many large project, and I’m sad to see it go on their behalf. It won’t sadden me to never having to use it again though.
