> it just feels like Gitlab cannot compete
The GitLab hosted service is not really a competitor of GitHub at all; in fact, their (primary) marketing is based on self-hosted service.
In my opinion, this has connection to the corporate/engineering culture - GL relies on young and very sharp... but also underpaid minds, at least when compared to GH.
I speculate that in order to have a high performing and stable infrastructure, you need grey beards, who require salaries that GL doesn't offer. I highlight speculation - but I'm not surprised when the company losing 6 hours of data is one rather than the other.
If this is correct/realistic, it's not a negative judgment; it's just a different orientation.
