I use GitLab at work and sourcehut for personal projects. And as much as I like minimalism, I have to admit how /nice/ GitLab is in comparison. But some complaints since some GitLab employees are watching:
- Syntax highlighting (for Python at least) is wonky.
- Changing profile pictures can take hours or days to propagate. Seems like a silly request, but I like changing my profile pic quickly.
- Metarepos (git repos using lots of submodules) are a mess in git and gitlab doesn't make it easier. It's either monorepo or manyrepo with no support for us inbetweeners.
- Frontend perf is snappier than some competitors, but not snappy /enough/.
- The search UI is bad. The widgets get in my way 90% of the time. And its slow.
