GitLab? We use gitlab for work. Its way worse in comparison.

Last week I encountered a bug where my merge request simply didn't show that I deleted a file. Apparently it's because my MR included the creation of a folder with the same name as the basename of the deleted file. Unacceptable for a code hosting platform.

Other than that I miss GH Actions, a clear ui (gitlab has way too many sub-menus), a responsive ui (gitlab feels very sluggish). And while we don't have the Gitlab duo activated, it still pops out regularly eventhough I can't use it besides closing it. ...and I don't even want to start with their issue buard.

It strongly reminds me of Jira in terms of quality, which is no compliment.



At least it isn't Bitbucket.

I think Atlassian and Microsoft are genuinely in a competition to see who can make worse software and still have customers.


At this point maybe even Azure DevOps is an improvement


I haven't used it in about 3 years; but 3 years ago it was not at all


As someone whose employer uses both: nope, not yet


I mean at least the pipelines almost always seem to work...


What issues do you have with bitbucket?


Gitlab is written in Ruby on Rails. Don‘t expect to much from it.
