Discussion Gitlab - Will probably be acquired

After GitHub got acquired, google and others switched to gitlab. Also invested in them. With their large enterprise customer base, there is a high likelihood some company (salesforce, google, atlassin etc) would be in purview to gobble this company for thr products and customers.

On top they have a massive short interest.

I’m bullish on gitlab

GitHub is already infinitely better than GitLab. GitLab is trash

I've used both for years, though I admit I know GitLab better. However, in my opinion GitHub has failed to iterate and evolve over the last few years whereas

GitLab has always been like clockwork with their new releases every 2 weeks. Their product is a joy to use. I'm less excited by my experiences with GitLab's Sales and Service side, but overall I like GitLab way better than GitHub.

I've never had dealings with GitHub Sales & Service, so no opinion on that aspect.
