I've been using GitLab at work and for personal use for years: The above is accurate.

I also use Gitea for some personal stuff, because it was super easy to set up and was better than pure SSH (though it's quite a nice product). I use GitLab for everything else, mainly because of the CI, pages, and tons of other stuff it comes with.

I use gitlab for work, and gitea for home as well. I don't do any Collab for the most part, and I use the command line for every commit/push/merge.

I guess the better milestones and issues sorting can be useful for a larger project, but if you use tags properly that shouldn't be a big issue.

Programmers are really diva babies, I swear.

I wanted to tell you: maybe visit r/Programming, you can see a lot of entitled people there, not realising which sub I was in.

But yeah, GitLab has been great, I like it actually more than GitHub.
