It's simply horrible to work with. It's a mystery to me how people actually review code through that cumbersome interface. Tracking a larger patch series is just painful, and I usually had to use other tools for doing the actual work. To me, Gerrit is not a tool for doing reviews, but more like a bureaucratic behemoth from project management where you have to click the right buttons and fill out the necessary forms, so that things somehow get merged. It's more like applying for a mortgage or doing taxes.
