Cool to hear that Apple uses Github. I don't think we disagree. Gitlab has had reliability issues the last months/years. Probably in part due to their rapid growth. And I still prefer the stability of the Github infrastructure compared to gitlab.com.

I was trying to say that, in my experience, Gitlab has become the defacto VCS tool for new/small companies that want something self-hosted.

What's interesting is, I do see the trend slightly change the last year, as Gitlab becomes heavier and people switching to gogs.

In the end there is probably enough space for all depending on your needs.
