GitLab seems like what they need based on all of their wants. I'm not sure why more people aren't wanting to move over to gitlab, it's great.

What is GitLab's issue tracking like?
- Sleaker 11y ago
  It's similar to githubs, but it also includes custom weighting on issues. A much better filtering UI. Ways to mass assign/change issues in one go. You can view issues for a full group of projects, not just a single repository, along with being able to have shared milestones across a groups projects. Someone else also mentioned some of the new features such as Issue templating. Right now it's just a single but there are plans for having multiple templates.

    On the other hand, at least in the self-hosted version of GitLab I use at work: * Can't quickly create a whole bunch of new labels -- have to wait for a very slow form submit, which takes you back to the label list, where you have to click "New Label" again. * Can't quickly add labels to an issue -- have to jump off the issue discussion page and edit the issue. * New issue page is very slow to load, and submitting an issue takes almost 4 or 5 seconds (might be our problem). * Closing an issue does a full page reload (which is sloooow. again, might be our problem). * GitLab-flavored Markdown and the default CSS have lot of little problems. And that's just issues with… issues. GitLab has improved quite a bit though since I joined the company a year ago. Every GitLab upgrade we've done thus far has made me a lot happier using it, so good on everyone working on GitLab for that. I'd still rather be using GitHub, though I think there are better options that GitHub too.

      Hi Tom, In the current version of GitLab you're able to add multiple labels, add a label while seeing the issue show page and the edit page should be faster. We're working all the time to make GitLab faster and today we made the issue page load 3x faster on GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42#note_3670049 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/42#note_3670... There should not be many markdown/css problems in the product as far as I know. There certainly is still room for improvement in the GitLab UX (especially on mobile), and we're not happy yet. We hired our second frontend engineer this week and we're looking for more on https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ I hope your problems are solved when you upgrade to GitLab 8.4.

That's great news that I'm very glad to hear, thanks! Our ops folks are usually on top of GitLab upgrades, so I don't expect to wait too long :-)
