We don't want you to get suck with an integrated solution that is bad. We'll make sure that we'll keep improving every aspect of GitLab together with the wider community (100+ contributions in the last month). And if you want to use GitLab with something else you're welcome to https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/
We think there is a lot of value in a single application for the complete DevOps lifecycle https://about.gitlab.com/2017/10/11/from-dev-to-devops/ and we'll continue to build that in 2018.
We'll also keep improving the existing parts of GitLab, such as the managing of repo's https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#code-review
We want to play nice with other CI tools and for example have great support for Jenkins https://about.gitlab.com/features/jenkins/
If you didn't use our CI since 1.5 years give it a shot, it is very good https://about.gitlab.com/is-it-any-good/#gitlab-ci-is-a-lead...
