I love it. The problem I have with Github is that for them everything starts with a repo, even projects, which usually should consist of multiple repo are reverse, one repo can have multiple projects.

I like functionalities, UX sucks but it doesn't matter for me.

GitLab now supports project without a repo and subgroups. So you can have multiple projects without a repo.

I have increasingly noted that Gitlab surpasses Github in the number of features. Good job!

Except when it comes to backup.

Or speed. That's why we had to migrate off of Gitlab.

I'm sorry to hear that. GitLab.com is slow and we're working on improving that, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/947

Self hosted GitLab should be fast. GitLab.com has an export to move all your project metadata to a self hosted instance.
