Wikimedia is moving to Gitlab

I'm okay with it being slightly more difficult to get started with, in return for higher productivity in the long run, yes. Right now, after spending a similar amount of time both with GitHub PRs (and Gitlab MRs) and Gerrit, I still find Gerrit much easier and faster to use.

I'm generally okay with that tradeoff too, but we tried it early on at our company and the juice was not worth the squeeze, at least in our case.

Designers and even many developers found it essentially impossible to use and the developers who were reasonably comfortable with it spent way too much time assisting others in attempting to use it.

(fwiw I found myself somewhere in the middle - I like the model and understood the ideas but also found it annoying to work with in practice)

Same. Cool idea in concept. Not something I have enough time to be interested in using heavily.
