I'm really sorry to hear about the crappy experience you've had with GitLab. If you'd like to detail some more complaints, I'd love to hear them and open some issues about these things. Feel free to shoot me an email (located in my profile) or reply here. Either way, thanks for the feedback you've provided here.
As far as the frequent upgrades go, we've been using .com as a way of dogfooding GitLab at scale. Sometimes this goes well and other times it doesn't. We're actively working to improve this process so that downtime and breaking changes are less frequent. The end goal is to eradicate both issues so that upgrades are seamless.
