Well gitlab has all the features of teamcity on paper: it can run a remote script and build any random thing.

But why do we need so much work to write the script ? Why is the reporting so bad on test failure, why building complex dependency chains running in parallel and in sequence doesnt work ? Why do we need to touch the repo to change the build descriptor?

It's just not as fun to use, immediate, beautiful, and productive. It's thrown on top of the git part, half assed.
