One of my major pain points with GitLab was its API. The lack of coherent API design ultimately made me lose hope in the product. For example I think it still lacks an ability to create threads on MRs. Until recently it wasn't possible to approve any MRs either, for 10+ versions of the product and 4+ versions of the api, but adding emoji was... The disjointed API made it nearly impossible to create quality tooling on top of GitLab, ultimately forcing us away from the product. It left a poor taste in my mouth, with a sense that there was no rhyme or reason to the direction of the platform, unfortunately.
