It is exciting to see that having everything in a single application is being validated by GitHub. Last year it was very clear they are switching from a marketplace model to a single application by including Verify (CI), Package, and Secure. We think Git(Lab|Hub) will become the two most popular solutions and we look forward to this competition https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/biggest-risks/#competition https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/biggest-risks/#... I think the companies that should be nervous are ones that have only one stage or ones that have multiple stages but as a suite of applications instead of a single application https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application/ https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application... There are a lot of these https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/ https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/

> It is exciting to see that having everything in a single application is being validated by GitHub I wish Gitlab would get over this passive-aggressive negging of GitHub. I would squirm seeing something like that among any two competing companies. But it takes a strange configuration of overcompensating an inferiority complex to use it for the specific case of one company starting out as an explicit clone of another, to then lord any small feature the original company may have followed over them. This isn't the first time. I've seen it dozens of times, and I don't even specifically care about these two companies.

  I don't think GP's comment was negging or passive-aggressive at all. The original GP said "That must make you nervous over at GitLab, no?" so it only seems rational to explain that they see this as validation and not as a risk. Somehow, you took this explanation of why they aren't worried about this and turned it into a passive-aggressive stance..
