Actual non-loaded question, does GitLab offer a wiki like Confluence and a full issue planning / management feature like Jira? I've only used a small amount of GitLab, and it was purely for code hosting, so I don't know.

We offer a wiki https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/wiki/index.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/wiki/index.html which has less features than Confluence but does work with markdown and is stored in git. Many of our users switched from a wiki to a static website so they can use merge/pull requests to handle changes. GitLab Pages https://about.gitlab.com/features/pages/ https://about.gitlab.com/features/pages/ has support for more than 30 static site generations. GitLab has issues https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/ and an issue board https://about.gitlab.com/features/issueboard/ https://about.gitlab.com/features/issueboard/ By default you can do Kanban and time tracking. Next month we'll come out with relations between issues.

  The wiki strikes me as similar to GitHubs wiki / pages stuff (which seems obvious enough). Which I appreciate the features it offers (markdown, git, etc), I don't feel like the majority of people using Confluence would, and the feature set is indeed fairly different. Not bad, and I would certainly use it, but I'm not sure it's a replacement for Confluence users. The issue board on the other hand seems a lot closer to a "replacement" for Jira. The tag based concept reminds me (again) of a Github 3rd party tool, but it's nice that it's built in. Again, less feature-rich compared to Jira, but in this case, not necessarily a bad thing. Jira can be overboard for most workflows. I might have to give that a try.
