I explored it heavily for the last 2 minutes on my Ubuntu 14.04 fresh VM.

- Installation (and liberty to chose between 3 database engines) couldn't be easier. No Gitlab's omnibus package doesn't come even close.

- Gogs does support issues. Proper Github like issues with labels, milestones, assignees, markdown etc.

- There are no pull requests. And you can't edit files from the web interface. I bet Linus Torvalds will love it and ask Github to shutdown in favor of Gogs.

- The interface is pretty much the same as Github, so ++ there too.

- Sending commit messages like "do something, fixes #3" won't close #3.

- You cannot code review, comment on diffs, or commits. This one hurts me.

- Is too much fast and less resource intensive compared to Gitlab, so ++ if you are resource limited.

I would recommend to run locally for small personal projects. OR if you just want a web interface to git, and not a browser based version control system.
