Too little and too late. Meanwhile, I'm over here with gitlab self-hosted runners that "dispatch" ephemeral runners. I can tweak scaling limits and the whole contraption runs seamlessly on the AWS ec2 instances of my choosing.

My company just competed the migration from github to gitlab and, while it's not perfect, there's a lot to like on gitlab.

I think it's all just a matter of team preferences and for many this is less "too little too late" and more "yet another great release" when compared to the other tools they're using.

I personally find Actions to be a far better product than GitLab CI and we're moving all our CI from a mix of Circle/Jenkins to Actions.

What do you like about Actions more than GitLab CI? Github Actions just feels much less mature and I keep running into issues.

It's funny because that's pretty much my experience with GitLab CI. Actions is certainly a younger product, I do feel that, but in terms of the design, how the pieces fit together, and what it feels like to develop for it, it all feels much more mature than GitLab CI to me. GitLab always felt like a Travis clone that was hacked to look more like CircleCI.
