I had to use Gitlab several times in the past, mostly because the companies I was working for wanted free private repositories.
Though I appreciate to have a Github alternative with some really solid CI tools, it just feels like Gitlab cannot compete. Discussions and the UI in general are unreadable, everything feels slow (10 seconds to populate the asignee dropdown, come on...), updates and deployments every two days in the middle of work days ("sorry, I cannot push, Gitlab is down"), and the cringiest thing of all, seeing: "deploying Gitlab CE 10.4.0-rc8" [1]. Releasing Release Candidates?!
Maybe I should try to deploy Gitlab on some server of my own.
