Gitlab.com used to be slightly less available than GitHub but recently I think the tables have turned and Gitlab saas is relatively stable.

I also enjoy Gitlab as a platform. It's got everything, good board, good repo, good issues, good CI, extremely good registries. It's got the equivalent of gists and pages... It a better product all things considered.

GitHub just wins because of popularity. It's WordPress all over again, the thing people use because it's a thing people use.

They changed the merge request list to be way too smart, making assumptions about user's workflows

To me it feels like they have way too many engineers looking for things to solve that arent really problems

The CI system is great though

Running it self hosted is also generally without any problems - although they just broke my upgrade to 19 because they decided to remove mattermost
