Bitbucket is horribly antiquated (along with all Atlasssian software IMO), why not go to GitLab - it's code management, merges request workflows and discussions

Bitbucket is horribly antiquated (along with all Atlasssian software IMO), why not go to GitLab - it's code management, merges request workflows and discussions are excellent for peer review and the CI/CD is fantastic.

Working with Bitbucket feels like every click compiles a linux-kernel in the background.

  I wonder if this is on purpose. Like starbucks burning their beans: to ensure a consistent experience across the whole franchise. `sleep(6)` on every click.

We just switched from GitLab to GitHub because the CI is horrible and they changed the pricing to a very bad option in our case. Without adding features we use we would've had to pay four times the money. The CI just sucks, it's very flaky and just outright unstable sometimes. The configuration is pure horror. It takes ages to implement simple stuff. In two years I didn't get sonarcloud annotations on our damn pull requests to work. The UI just sucks. I don't know why you want to switch from GitHub to GitLab? We're happy with the switch.

  This is so contra to my own experiences that I'm wondering if your gitlab setup was horribly configured..? Did you self-host? How did you deploy it? Gitlab CI has been "the best"(tm) self-hosted CI solution I've used.

  Hi, we added CI workshops into the docs in the past year: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/quick_start/ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/quick_start/ and worked on more learning resources at https://about.gitlab.com/learn/ https://about.gitlab.com/learn/ The new CI/CD pipeline editor also improves the getting started experience, shown in a demo workshop in the GitLab 14 community meetup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSspEk8efHE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSspEk8efHE Can you elaborate a bit more on the CI configuration problems you are running into? Thanks!

  I've never really had any GitLab CI problems worth talking about and the key thing for us is how reliable it is. I've only ever used self hosted - maybe were you using their free / SaaS agents or something?

I know it's easy to slam Atlassian but Jira is still widely used. I've found the ability to tie tickets to commits really nice. And it's CI is good enough. Not saying it's better than other solutions use what makes sense for you.

Google will buy them in a few years and shut it down not long after.
