I certainly disagree with this comparison.
I've been using linux on the desktop for over 15 years with no intention to ever stop the near future.
I had been using firefox since its first release under the name phoenix then firebird then firefox (I had been using mozilla suite before that) and I've stopped with no intent to ever come back to it when mozilla finally killed what made firefox useful to me after a lengthy agony process (BTW the claim of firefox being not performant enough 2 years ago is totally unsubstantiated as I used it daily with over 250 tabs open concurrently without a single hiccup despite having 35 extensions loaded as they were required to put back the useful features mozilla had removed, to remove the unwanted cruft mozilla has added and to add the necessary features mozilla refused to add). I have now switch to waterfox, and its name says it all.
So really comparing gitlab to linux on the desktop means gitlab will never happen, and comparing gitlab to firefox means it will be mishandled into irrelevance by a shady finance operation aiming for market domination.
To me Gitlab seems a better alternative to proprietary and centralized github that will be bought at some point in the not so distant future, has been my stance on this matter. That Microsoft is the one buying would not have been my first bet but is not a huge surprise either considering their change of PR to jump on the opensource bandwagon as an attempt to extend their agony further.
