>GitLab is the superior product in all regards, but GitHub has the network.

I could agree on features, but not UX. Github is still the king.

I'd like to share more data on the UX front. There are two efforts underway to establish the experience baselines [1] as well as a common design system [2]

Hopefully these efforts allow us to look at our UX holistically, and to focus on making high-quality components that are used throughout the product.

One thing that bugs me really hard about gitlab.com (and gitlab ce) is the broken flow when I come about an interesting repo and want to star it. I'm logged out, click on "Star", log in and I'm at my profile. I have to navigate back to the repository in question and click "Star" again.

Other than that it's really great software. I wouldn't want to miss running Gitlab CI.

The github pull request UI is severely lacking. Even something as simple as being able to see changes that address PR comments is surprisingly difficult.

When I was applying for jobs recently, a few of them had explicit GitHub link fields, sometimes even regex validated to ensure ONLY GitHub links got posted.

I didn't finish filling out those applications.

Echoing that. I was looking for several jobs as a senior dev. 15 years of work experience in corp. environments do not necessarily result in much GitHub activity -- I discarded every opening that required linking your private repo.
