I have several repos of text-file based validators that members of the public contribute to. They don't understand git, so it's handy to be able to edit on the website.

Git has a super high learning curve for simple edits...

It's one of the problems we are trying to solve. Git is hard, so a guided experience can prove valuable.

See for more information https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47307 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/46122 for example in how we are improving this starting with 11.1

The irony that Git was instrumental in the evolution to GUI-based computing, but didn't also make that same jump to lightspeed has always dumbfounded me.

Git, like God, is good :) But even, over time, God has evolved and gotten more accessible.

GitLab always had a simple editor that you can use to make commits from the web interface.

The Web IDE thing is something more sophisticated.
