Totally agree! Though why stop at personal stuff? I moved all of my business stuff to gitlab as well. Just the gitlab-ci stuff alone is worth the price of admission. There are a few funny little edges (gitlab.com seems a bit slow at times, and I finally have to break down and spin up my own gitlab runners so I didn't have to wait on shared runners for ci), but overall, I have no complaints at all. Heck, I am working on a pipeline for automated deployments as we speak.

Gitlab is awesome.

We do use a self-hosted version of GitLab for some of our projects at work (CE I think), and GitHub for others - which one depends on which team you're on. I only didn't mention that we use GL at work since I have no input into the matter - for the longest time we were using Gitolite hosted on a toaster oven and GL on a proper server is a big improvement, even though we use very few of its features (we have alternative CI and code review solutions).

Because I know it will be asked, the reason we're not using GL's features is mostly organizational inertia since we had to use those tools back when we were using Gitolite - having used GL's CI and code review solutions on personal projects, I don't think they're any worse than what we're using now.

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for using GitLab!
