We're using Gitlab at work, our sysops set it up so I can't speak to the pain of dealing with that but overall the experience has been positive switching from Gitolite and Gitblit. If I had known about stash before they started implementing gitlab I may have suggested it though. I much prefer the Bitbucket interface to the Github.

Few pain points about Gitlab, large diffs cannot be merged or diffed through a merge request which is our preferred way to merge branches since you can autoclose the branches from there and provide the per line comments on the diff. The diff display currently has no option to hide whitespace (though they are open to pull requests that implement the `?w=1` convention github does.

Other than that thought I can't say I've had a negative experience with Gitlab.
