In my opinion, I still use straight Git even though we have a GitLab server. We only do pull requests through GitLab when we have a new hire or a contractor. I don't believe that using GitLab to manage the remote repositories has impacted anyone's ability to use Git to get their work done. In terms of what I would miss if we had to move away from GitLab, it's having remote repository management and continuous integration in one spot. In the past when a new project started, an administrator had to setup the repository and link in SSH keys, that same person had to setup Jenkins for the CI workflow. With GitLab, developers can set these things up on their own. And there's one less tool to manage.
