> took a deal from Microsoft I feel this. There is a gigantic difference in usability (and in my experience, productivity and maintainability) between the two self-hostable platforms (Gitlab being much better than Github enterprise), and I'm not sure that there's really a good set of metrics to expose when an executive says "here's the easy cost bottom line" between the two. Somehow, the fact that the free GitLab product is already significantly better than the paid GH product seems to be missed as well. There's just too much FUD about not having a service contract, and that since GH and MS are household names, people assume their products are better and will move forward more quickly. That is not my experience at all, across several companies that have tried both. All I can say is I'll probably invest in GitLab when it IPOs. It's almost certainly going to be undervalued.
