So far every early stage startup I've seen was using GitLab unless they only have open source / public projects and can use GitHub for free or need GitHub because of the community (it's still easier to get traction on GH as an open source project because so many developers already have a GH account). GitLab has seen steady growth for years and has recently been gaining an increasing level of attention (in part because of the pricing changes and dodgy politics at GitHub). It's here to stay. I hope GitLab.com will become more performant and stable. I would love to see GitHub for open source be replaced with a company actually built around open source rather than proprietary tech and catchy marketing.
