We use it for FreeBSD.
My impression, coming from tools like gerrit, bitbucket/stash, fisheye/crucible and google3 is that phab is a review tool that kind of wants to be a source control tool, but it fails at both. I actually dread putting up reviews when I upstream stuff to FreeBSD because I hate phab. I've found that it is just easier for me to use the "upload patch" feature than it is to use their arcanist tools on top of git or svn. I really wish the project would move away from this tool.
- Izkata 8y agoSeveral years ago, we also used Phabricator for code reviews. It had just enough friction that eventually our team fell to manual code reviews ("Hey, could you check out revision X?"), then eventually just stopped bothering to code review at all. Since switching to Fisheye/Crucible, code reviews have become so easy we do them all the time as part of the normal workflow. I really can't imagine switching back nowadays.
