My small problem with gitlab is that the website is slow and heavy JS, especially having to use it on mobile (expectable that you can respond in issue trackers from mobile). GitHub is comparatively faster and less cluttered UI. I know this is not a significant problem. But I mentioned it since Gitlab people are sometimes commenting here. :)

Thanks for the feedback entha_saava. GitLab.com is indeed slower than GitHub.com today, and we need to provide a better experience for our users. Improving frontend performance is a key focus area for us, and while we started this specific initiative recently, we have started prefetching data while our Vue app is loading (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220511 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220511) and will be splitting out page specific assets out of the main bundle (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3694 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3694). We have quite a few other initiatives in flight, and will continue to provide updates on progress which you can see here: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3273#note_370914819 https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3273#note_37091...
