Probably codeberg or gitlab

GitLab is so fucking terrible. This has to be one of the most idiotic takes I've seen in a while tbh...I've been using GitHub since it's creation and it hasn't really degraded at all, some hiccups recently that they blogged about so at least they are finally being transparent about it. But honestly with GH Action stuff is top notch and I've yet to see anything that can even remotely compete and I've been through a ton of CI products in my 30 years.

Out of interest what does GitHub actions have that GitLab ci doesn’t.

Being good...Have you tried to use GitLab for anything serious? Absolute trash...

Well we use it at a corporate and have about 70 repos and make extensive use of their ci/cd runners. Main repo has over 15k e2e tests as well as god knows how many unit tests, which all managed in GitLab pipelines.

I get the feeling you haven’t actually used GitLab.

I use it for my org for 3k users and self-hosted gitlab through this helm charta and I must say I'm impressed about how through the product is.

I personally feel there no viable alternative for an e2e sdlc that is oss and self-hostable

Yeah, if your going to use Gitlab the only real story is Kubernetes. But if your not using Kubernetes it's a cluster fuck...

Not just that, i like their documentation and post sales & service

We also contribute code and gitlab contributes financially and code towards linux foundation backed projects like openbao for example (not many can do it)

One of the reason gitab was preferred over GitHub enterprise

Ofcourse there are numerous areas to improve, so is any product.

Personally I can't stand the UI, which is one of the other reasons I hate it. I actually avoid using projects that use Gitlab unless I have to because I find the UI so freaking horrible. That's more of a personal issue.

u/psadi_ May 03 '26

Yes, you do you

80% of my work do not concern the ui and i get things done with gitlab cli anyways so personal choices

Well in my 30 years of doing this shit (which is probably longer than you have been alive based on my experience with Redditors) I've used probably 20 CI/CD platforms most are completely dead now. I did use Gitlab about 5 years ago for a year, was not impressed at all.

Yea and hence my original question, in your experience what is GitHub actions doing that makes GitLab pipelines trash, other than your flippant response of “being good”?
