It's such a shame, I absolutely loved GitLab when I first started using it ~8-9 years ago. Switching to company on GitHub a few years later felt like a huge regression. GitLab had all sorts of little UX niceties and, while there were some rough edges, overall it seemed well thought through.

Since then though, holy cow have things gotten worse. The UX has changed more times than I can count and seems to get worse every time. Rough edges never get fixed, but new ones get introduced all the time. It's hard to think of anything useful that has been added or improved in recent years.

It's such a shame. GitHub is its own mess and I really wish GitLab had made itself a clear superior alternative and eaten their lunch.
