fossil contains a lot more functionality than git by itself, so comparing it to git + gitlab or git + github kind of makes sense.

Almost everything in the git universe is git + webserver + cli tool + scripts + gui tool. It really isn't the same... you have to concatenate an awful lot of tools to add fossil's base features to git. That said, I end up using git on everything but personal projects... then I use fossil.
