Re:GitLab now worth twice what Microsoft paid for GitHub by bob1029 on Monday October 18, 2021 @04:36AM (#28903361)
Maybe on Wallstreet it's worth more, but I personally don't see much differentiation from a fundamental product standpoint. Source code, PRs and issues are the core of the solution for most. After a certain point, adding more features is going to distract from this.

Also, some of the listed "features" are things I would actively prefer not to have, such as "self-managed reliability". Kinda the whole point of me paying that bill is so I don't have to spend time on menial IT bullshit. I want to live in a fantasy where my source control and project tracking is hosted in a perfect way so I can focus on my product and not someone else's.

Of course, "Microsoft bad", so factor that in accordingly as you see fit.

On premise. Do not underestimate the number of companies that requires it.
